Former Brookwood Soccer Star Excells for ETSU

Gwinnett County, located on the northeast side of Atlanta, is arguably Georgia's hot bed for High School Soccer. Theo Yang, currently a starting midfielder for the East Tennessee St. Men's Soccer Team, was among the many great college-bound high school soccer players from Gwinnett.

Yang was a standout player at Brookwood High School in Snellville, GA. While at Brookwood, Yang helped lead the Broncos to the State Semifinals in 2008 and was named to the Gwinnett Daily Post "Super Six" list, a list which contains Atlanta's top 6 college-bound high school soccer players. Yang also excelled at the Club level,. He played for the Concorde Fire U18 Academy team, and also competed for the Georgia 91 ODP Team and was a member of the Region 1 Pool in 2004/5 and Region III Pool in 2007.

Theo Yang has started 6 games as a Freshman for the ETSU Pirates. He tallied an assist in a tough 2-1 OT loss to then #2 ranked North Carolina. It will be exciting to follow this young man's career at ETSU. Yang is another of the many great college-bound high school student-athletes coming out of Gwinnett County near Atlanta, GA.
