Nikolai Figueroa Commits to Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey

Posted On April 20, 2015 by PUSC

“I am very excited to announce that I will be attending Stevens Institute of Technology for the next four years. Located in New Jersey, I feel that Stevens is the perfect fit for me to continue playing soccer and further my education. I really look forward to begin playing under coaches Rensing and Gkionis and to become a part of the class of 2019.

I would like to thank all of those who have helped me get to this point. I never could have done it without such a great club as Placer United and all of the coaching staff who have really helped me improve my game. I want to give a big thanks to Jason Gantt and Francois Barbe for all that they have done and also my teammates who have made these last few years into such a great experience. Last of all, I would like to thank my parents, and my whole family, who have been with me every step of the way. Without their support I don’t know where I would be today.” —Nikolai Figueroa
