About Ellie

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would describe my gameplay style as athletic speed covering the length of the field, left and right foot ball striking, dangerous running with the ball, dangerous crossing and finishing, shooting power (dangerous from the 18), strong 1v1 defender, and strong in the air.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I would describe my mentality and personality as super competitive. I love being on the field where I can contribute. I am a team player though--I know it's not all about me. I love celebrating with my teammates and I strive to pick them up when they need it. I've also learned the importance of discipline, dedication, and perseverance. I strive to be a positive influence on those around me.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I have been nominated for the Academic Honors Society, 2xAcademic All-Region, and I received an honors award from the Rotary Club in 2024. I volunteer to ref or train for my club's younger kids.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Through soccer, I've developed strong leadership and teamwork skills. I haven't been eligible to be captain on my high school team until my Senior Year but I have learned to act like one when leadership wasn't very strong. I had to learn to communicate effectively with my teammates, motivate them during tough times, and help everyone feel included which resulted in being named team MVP 2024.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

In April '21 I had a compound tib/fib fracture injury resulting in surgery & 2 steel rods from ankle to knee. I set a 12 week goal to be cast free & limped on the field in August but had a lot of work to do. The following season was emotional & hard. I was insecure for tryouts but through a lot of extra training and hard work my coach told me I was the best player on the field that day!

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college with a strong academic reputation, but also a vibrant and supportive athletic environment. I'm also looking for a campus that feels like a good fit – a place where I can connect with other students so I can thrive both on and off the field. I want a program that will support me on my path to USWNT and the NWSL.

Karl is one of the top players in Utah in this class – and highly ranked nationally. She’s already on the radar for professional teams too. She was invited to play with the Utah Royals, the NWSL team, in a scrimmage against BYU this year. 

She is listed as a defender/forward (positions No. 2, 3, 7, or 11). She is five-foot-nine with elite athleticism. The club game, frankly, looks too easy for her. She showed that older competition is no issue either at the high school level this season. She scored 17 goals for Wasatch while earning All-State honors. 

She has the ambitions to play for the US Women’s National Team in the future, and the potential is there. The path won’t be easy, but the determination is definitely present. Karl should have her pick of schools. There are very few players in this class with her combination of skill, size, athleticism, and drive.
