Vernon Hills High School Athlete to Play Soccer for DePauw University

It was a goal of Brad McGee, a Vernon Hills High School senior and athlete, to play college soccer. That goal will be realized upon graduation, as McGee has been recruited by Indiana's DePauw University to be a DePauw Tiger.

McGee has demonstrated the true meaning of student-athlete, according to NCSA Athletic Recruiting.

He has a 3.7 GPA with an ACT score of 32 and a PSAT score of 69. McGee is also member of the National Honor Society and Athletes Committed to Excellence.

As a three-year varsity starter, McGee was captain of the defense and his team won the championships of the Cougar Classic. He was also a member of the Sockers FC Chicago club team, which won the Nike Classic Spring tournament last season.

On his NCSA Athletic Recruiting profile, McGee said he is looking to pursue a degree in Business or Psychology.

As for playing college soccer, McGee is humble. "Although I would like to be a starter in my first year, I know the value of hard work and earning a spot on the starting lineup after a couple years."
