Since he last suited up in the green, blue and white last fall, Griffin Garnett ’25 has decided to pursue professional soccer full-time. Signing a multi-year contract with the local Richmond Kickers franchise was a dream come true for Garnett. According to an August 8 article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Garnett said: “We used to walk to games, I used to watch them and I always wanted to play with them. My dream was to always go pro.” The story also noted that he “currently ranks sixth in the league in total volume of passes. He’s won 73% of his tackles, 57% of his duels, recorded an 86.1% pass accuracy and completed 45 long passes.” The defender/midfielder was also the ECNL national player of the year.
