Pulisic a Big Addition to Duke Soccer 2016 Class

DURHAM, N.C.—Duke University men's soccer head coach John Kerr announced another addition to the Blue Devil family with standout goalkeeper Will Pulisic signing a National Letter of Intent today. Pulisic currently is playing in the Canary Islands with the United States Under-19 National Team.

“First and foremost, Will is a leader,” said Kerr. “He has the full package. He is a great shot-stopper, reads and communicates the game well. He has great presence and is excellent at coming for crosses. His distribution is exceptional, both throwing and kicking the ball. His positioning makes a difficult save look easy. We are thrilled to have Will with us at Duke.”

In addition to Pulisic, the Blue Devils are anticipating a couple more additions to the squad in the coming months.
