GREENSBORO – A combination of regional and international standouts have the UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's soccer program ranked 25th in the country by Top Drawer Soccer in its 2021 recruiting class rankings.
UNCG is the only SoCon program ranked in the top 25. It's the second straight season in which UNCG has been ranked for one of the nation's best recruiting classes.
IN addition to Logan and
Chase Gilley, who are on the team now, other signees listed included defender Joseph Skinner (ranked No. 100), midfielder Henry Cordova (No. 160), midfielder
Jack Birch, midfielder James Denham, midfielder
Olle Kaissidis and midfielder Holden Woodings.
"This class is a great combination of North Carolina, in-region, and international-based players," said head coach
Chris Rich, said in January of his recruiting class. "All of them represent what we look for in a person and player, so we're very excited to have them join the UNCG soccer family.
"Our coaching staff worked tirelessly to put this class together and did so at a high level. A huge shoutout and thank you to Coach [Scott] Wells, Coach [Jaime] Ibarra, and Coach [Brian] White. We still have work to do to finish this class out but we're very excited about the group we have so far."
The Spartans are reaping the benefits of some of the freshmen from last year's nationally-ranked class as
Theo Collomb leads the SoCon with six goals and
Niclas Wild has produced a clean sheet in two of UNCG's last three games.
UNCG hosts ETSU in its regular-season finale on Saturday, March 3 at 7 p.m.
