Ziqian Wang

My name is Ziqian Wang, and I go by Fred. I am a Class of 2030 student-athlete from Vestal, New York. I primarily play defensive midfielder and center back. My experience includes starting in MLS NEXT AD competition and playing a starting midfield role on my high school’s JV team.

What makes me unique is the perspective I bring from my Chinese family background and my experiences in American soccer. Playing in different environments has taught me to adapt, learn from others, and appreciate different approaches to the game. As a defensive midfielder and center back, I enjoy reading the game, protecting space, and helping my team connect defense with attack.

My goal is to play college soccer while earning a strong education. I want to keep improving my decision-making, technical skills, and physical strength so I can compete at a higher level. I am looking for a college that challenges me academically and offers a soccer program with clear expectations, supportive coaches, and a strong team culture.

I would bring positional versatility, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to doing the work that helps the team succeed. Whether I am competing for a starting position or supporting my teammates in another role, I want to earn my coaches’ trust through consistent effort and contribute to the program on and off the field.
