WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - For the third consecutive season, Wake Forest men's soccer's recruiting class has been ranked in the Top-10 nationally according to national outlets. The Demon Deacons' recruiting class has been ranked No. 9 by TopDrawerSoccer.com and No. 8 by College Soccer News.
The freshman class of 2014 includes Kevin Politz, a U.S. U-17 product along with USMNT U-18 player Kris Reaves. Other members of the recruiting class include Spanish midfielder Jon Baquero, Steven Echevarria, John Schuman, Hank Gauger, Ian Story, Dominic Scotti, Heath Honold, Chase Rhode, Matt Szucs and Zach Fingerhut.
