Jack Devlin Commits to Yale University

Posted On May 13, 2017 by PUSC

“I am very proud to announce that I will be continuing my education as a member of the class of 2021 at Yale University, where I will also continue my soccer career. I am so thankful for everything that the Placer United organization has done for me over the years. Words cannot express how proud I feel to have been a member of this club, and I have a countless number of memories from my years at Placer. I want to thank my fellow teammates who have become like family members to me, and I feel so honored to have had the opportunity to play with such a talented group. I also want to thank the coaches that I have had during my Placer career, especially Matt McDougall, who has become one of the most influential figures in my life. I would not be where I am today, both as a soccer player and as a person, without his unwavering support. Thank you to everyone else in the organization who has helped me on my journey. Most importantly, I would like to thank my family, especially my mom, Maura, and my dad, John. I cannot possibly express how thankful I am for them and all they have done for me. There is no way that I would be where I am today without their constant and unconditional support. Over the past several years, my connection with Placer has become one of the most integral pieces of my character, and I cannot imagine where I would be without being a part of such a fantastic organization. Once again, thank you to everyone who has helped me on my journey. I am extremely excited to begin my next chapter. Go Bulldogs!” —Jack Devlin, Placer United #6
