Georgetown brings in the top-ranked men’s soccer Class of 2024

WASHINGTON – Georgetown men’s soccer head coach Brian Wiese announced the signing of seven student-athletes to National Letters of Intent to play on the Hilltop.

The Class of 2024 is the No. 1 ranked class in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer as the Hoyas continue to bring in some of the best talent in the country.

“We are losing eight seniors from this year’s team that have been hugely influential on our program and we feel that this incoming group can continue to carry that flag,” said Wiese. “This group represents all four regions of the country and has some special talent in it. We’ll look forward to seeing how they grow as players on the field and people off of it, and how they grow the culture of Georgetown soccer. It’s an exciting time to be on the Hilltop.”
