Bio

Soji Otuyelu is a native of Nigeria and spent most of his younger years there before relocating to the United States, settling in Boston, Massachusetts. He attended and graduated from Boston English High School, where he was a member of the soccer team.

After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Massachusetts, majoring in industrial engineering, and trained with the Division 1 University of Massachusetts Soccer Team as part of the club program, and also played club rugby while studying at there. Otuyelu earned a bachelor of science degree in industrial engineering from the University of Massachusetts.

Following graduation, he competed in the Western North Carolina development league, and has been coaching youth and club sports for fourteen years, as well as coaching at the high school level.

Otuyelu’s coaching philosophy is simple, prepare mentally and physically to compete and embrace the challenge through hard work and discipline. This mantra has gotten him through many difficult times.

“I love the sport, the athletes, and the school community, and I’m looking forward to seeing our program continue to grow,” he said.
