FREMONT – A record-setting high school career has paved the way to a new career for Dylan Brady: A collegiate one.

The Little Giant senior has signed on to play soccer at the next level, earning a scholarship to Division II Tiffin University.

“It just sort of hit me the other day, I’m actually going to be a college athlete and further my education,” Brady said. “I leave it all to the High School, getting me to this point. I’m thankful for everything that got me here.”

Brady’s penchant for putting the ball in the net also played a major part in his success.

He leaves the Little Giants program its all-time leader in career goals, 72, as well as goals tallied in a season as he potted 32 in his senior season.

Ross coach Alex Coressel said the void Brady will leave in his wake is going to loom large.

“Absolutely massive,” he said. “And I think that’s an understatement. We lose 32 goals from a team that scored 60-something, he’s half our goals, but it’s not just that, it’s the assists, the attention he draws is huge. We’re going to need multiple, multiple guys to step up, not just one or two. It’s going to have to be four or five goals to step up and score five or six more goals each just to try make a dent in the production we’re going to lose.”

Dylan Brady looks toward the Clay goal as the Little Giants attack in the first half of their game in the fall.

While Brady rewrote the Little Giant record book, his post-season performance might as indicative as anything regarding his collegiate potential. Brady played in a pair of all-star games, representing the Three Rivers Athletic Conference in the TRAC-NLL all-star game, as well as in the all-district all-star game. He scored in both games, including the game-winner in the final seconds of the TRAC-NLL game.

“The fact his game moves over to those and he scores in those situations, shows his game is ready for the next level and he’s going to be successful,” Coressel said.

Despite the individual numbers he posted for Ross, Brady said he went to the all-star games determined to prove his goal-scoring could keep up with players from the area’s top programs.

“They boosted a lot of confidence for me, scoring in both of them,” he said. “All the players on the field were just as good as I was, or better than I was. Fremont is overlooked a lot. We’re a smaller school and ‘We’re not as good as everyone else’ quote-unquote, but it felt good to get out there, get my name and the school out there.”

Brady intends to take that something-to-prove mentality – and ability to put the ball in the net – with him to Tiffin.
