An update from College Soccer Stats
We've been gone for a while, but hopefully this project will help shed light and remove ambiguity on D1 men's soccer recruiting....
We are still figuring out some of the final touches....but stay tuned over Fall 2026!
Going through some D1 men's IG pages and their 2026 signings..
Transfer, Transfer, Transfer, Transfer, Transfer, INTL, Transfer, INTL, Transfer, Transfer, INTL, INTL, INTL, HS Kid !!! .....*read further* ......"XYZ recruiting agency"
Not saying it's bad thing ... just so funny
Midwest area boys & girls high school soccer teams ....come support my former HS coach and play in the best summer HS tournament there is ...the BWhite Classic!!
DISCUSSION - comment below
I think many soccer players/parents think of "soccer scholarship" = "full ride" like in football and basketball....
Even the MLS Next/ECNL kids that are indeed going D1 .... are not on anywhere near full-rides
You have to be able to pay....
You pay all this money for club soccer, some families 5-10K per year + ID camps (maybe), recruiting agencies (maybe), etc .....
To still end up paying 5-20K out of pocket after partial soccer money + whatever academic/merit/need-based aid you are receiving is applied
Your CEO of this page is now committed, I wanted to share a quick note of WHY THIS PAGE IS SO SPECIAL
Aid your recruiting process with DATA!!!
I am a JUCO Transfer, CSU has a history of recruiting JUCO transfers (9/31 roster) and I will be adding to the tradition Fall 2026 ...
Even if you chopped this cost in half, 4500$ is still a steep ask for lots of families. Even the families that may have the money, don't always have the support system around them to make this happen. This is a tough ask for lots of families to spend 9000$ on soccer / yearly
Part 2: How big are the top NAIA men's soccer schools?
If you remove the 2 gigantic outliers of GA Gwinnett and Keiser, the average UG student enrollment of the top 40 NAIA men's programs is an astounding.....
1,629 students.
Does this make it more difficult to secure the top American prospects to a top NAIA program?
If any NAIA/men's college coaches in general would like to contribute any further insight, please share in the comments of this post and we will repost it!
As always, this is never to bash programs who go heavy International...just to educate EVERYONE on stats and data in college soccer.....hence the name "College Soccer Stats"
How big are the top 40 NAIA Men's Soccer Schools?
As people attempt to understand why the top NAIA men's programs are so heavy International .... the student enrollment at most of these institutions may tell some of the story....
As you can see below, most of these schools are private, religious-affiliated colleges with super small student enrollments, with some being in remote locations.
I would assume most American club players probably overlook most of these schools as they might not want to play at a small NAIA in the middle of nowhere, while some of the International players don't know/don't care and are mostly just here for the opportunity to play footy in the states!
All enrollment data is from collegescorecard.gov

Just remember, spending two years at a JUCO doesn't guarantee you playing time, and if you do play, doesn't guarantee you a new home via the Portal
Ask yourself how does the JUCO fit into your academic plans when your two years are up and so is your college soccer experience

Don’t forget at the D2 level coming to train with the current team. I’ve seen players earn their chance by having a great session against the current team and I’ve also seen players show themselves to not be at the level required. If you can you should be training with the team.
NAIA MSOC Starting XI roster data, Part 2
Using DATA to understand truly how difficult it is to not only be recruited, but also receive playing-time, is CRUCIAL.
Please read the posts below and continue to follow us for a deeper analysis on this NAIA data. Stay tuned!
Here is the starting XI data from the 40 schools who qualified for the 2025 NAIA men's soccer championships.
William Penn was N/A...but out of 39 teams Starting XI data (429 players) , 339 were International (79%).
Yes, 79% of players who started a game in the NAIA men's soccer tournament were International. Read the next post for a further analysis on this...
NAIA Men's Soccer - 2025 National Tournament Round 1 & 2 - (40 Teams)
International vs American representation (total roster size)
Out of 40 teams (total):
1,006 / 1,537 (65%) of total rostered players are International.
Stay tuned over the month of March as we've collected data and put together around 20 posts of FREE data for NAIA Men's Soccer. I hope this will help recruits and families understand the landscape of NAIA men's soccer a bit better.
Follow, share, and stay tuned!
As we continue to post more data in the coming weeks...
I want to remind you all -- we are NOT here to make enemies. This page serves as OBJECTIVE DATA for FREE. I have my personal opinions on soccer but I try to keep that out of this

@ImYouthSoccer does an incredible job for WSOC data. We are trying to do a similar thing for MSOC.
Be on the lookout for men's data we have recently researched for JUCO&NAIA.
We are in the process of collecting data for D2 & D1
