“I am very excited to announce that I have verbally committed to California State University, Sacramento. I would first like to thank both of my parents for teaching me how to work hard at a young age and also for sacrificing so much of their time for my brother and me. Without the support from my parents I wouldn’t be in the position I am today as a soccer player. I would also like to thank my brother Jorge for encouraging me and helping my parents buy me my soccer gear throughout these years. I couldn’t have done it without his encouragement and toughness on me. I would also like to thank all of my Placer United teammates and other teammates throughout my youth soccer career that have pushed me to become the soccer player I am today. I also would like to thank Bart Morefield who was my history teacher in the 8th grade for giving me the opportunity to try out for Placer United’s first year of academy soccer. I would also like to thank Paul O’Brien for teaching me how to play soccer the correct way at a young age. He taught me how to become the competitive, hard working player that I am today and I wouldn’t be here where I am at today without him. Last but not least, I would like to finally thank my current coach Matt McDougall in believing in me and watching me play throughout my Placer years. He taught me how to become a better player and an even better person outside the pitch and I thank him a lot for that. I am more than excited in continuing my soccer career at a great school and with great coaches, and I am excited to see what the future has in store for me. Go Hornets!” —Omar Oseguera
