John Schroter

TIFFANY ON SCHROTER
2023 – “What do you get when you combine a large frame, a big motor, and a joy of competing along with exceptional footwork honed from playing high-level soccer as a striker?  John turned heads with his play in the first month of the fall, only to then be sidelined for much of the rest due to an injury.  Despite there being much to learn as a young defenseman, John’s high-level sport acumen is allowing him to demonstrate early on that he grasps much of our half-field and riding schemes:  John has an exciting future here.”

WHY UVA?

• “I originally became interested in UVA when my sister was a student there and told me all about my freshman year of high school. As I got older and matured, I became more aware of the school’s reputation for being an academic and athletic powerhouse and quickly fell in love with it. The campus is one of a kind, and when I was lucky enough to receive an offer to play for the men’s lacrosse team. I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of this team and university.”
