FC Wisconsin Announces College Commitments for Class of 2023

FC Wisconsin Leads the State of Wisconsin for the 11th Straight Year

34 Boys Have Collegiate Soccer Commitments for 2023

 

FC Wisconsin is proud to announce the latest graduating seniors that have now made commitments to play college soccer for the fall of 2023. The club collectively has 34 boys that have committed to 22 different institutions, from NCAA Divisions I, II, III, as well as NAIA and NJCAA programs across 15 different conferences and seven different states. This marks the second largest graduating class of FC Wisconsin seniors to commit to play at the collegiate level in the club's history.  

 

Not only does the club lead the state with the total number of college commitments overall, it also has the most players committing to play at the NCAA Division I level, with seven players heading to play at the highest collegiate level possible. This also represents the 11th year in a row that FC Wisconsin has led the state, by some distance, in the number of players that it continues to develop to play within the college ranks.

 

“We are so proud of each and every one of these players. To help place this number of players at the next level is phenomenal. To put this achievement into context the club with the second highest amount of college commitments in Wisconsin has 15 players going to play in college compared to our 34! This highlights the outstanding work that the club and all our staff do to help provide players a pathway and opportunities at the next level. This also highlights the faith and trust that college programs as a whole have towards FC Wisconsin and the players and people that we are developing for the next level. As a club, we pride ourselves on providing a pathway for committed players within all of our programs to play at the next level. It is a credit to everyone connected with the club that these commitments are from our ECNL, RCP, and our North Program. It shows the level of talent within the entire club,” commented Co-Director of Coaching Ben Shepherd. 

 

“To have 34 players committed to play at the next level is a great achievement by FC Wisconsin, the players, their families, and our staff who all put so much work into making this possible. It is a testament to our long-term player development model that as a club we consistently produce players that are capable to play at the collegiate level. We look forward to seeing them continue to be successful within the college ranks, ” said Co-Director of Coaching Billy Solberg.
