I’ve previously evaluated her in at least 7 other events ranging from high school, ECNL, COPA ID Camp, and USL W-League competition. Everleigh is a talented player who has accomplished a lot at different stages in her soccer journey. She won an ODP Far West Championship only a few days after returning from competing in Europe with the U.S. Youth Futsal team (USYF) this past summer. She completed her third year competing with a USYF team. In 2024, she served as a captain of the U-16, which won the 2024 World Championship in Malaysia. Her ability to be an impact player at multiple stages will definitely get her a bunch of calls on June 15th. The experience competing in friendlies at Manchester and London, England, with the USYF U-19 squad will definitely help her to become a well-rounded player. One of her strengths is having the ability to make an impact as a playmaker and scorer. Her high soccer IQ and 99th percentile PSAT score will definitely put her in a position for a high-major ACC or Ivy League program.

She just got back to the Bay Area after winning an ODP Far West Championship.  It happened only a few days after returning from competing in Europe with the U.S. Youth Futsal team (USYF).  This is her third year competing with a USYF team.  In 2024, she served as a captain of the U-16, which won the 2024 World Championship in Malaysia.  Everleigh is an elite player who I’ve evaluated at the high school, ECNL, and USL W-League.  Her ability to be an impact player at multiple stages will definitely get her a bunch of calls on June 15th.  The experience competing in friendlies at Manchester and London, England, with the USYF U-19 squad will definitely help her to become a well-rounded player.  She also excels as a playmaker and scorer.  Her quick cutbacks give her separation to quickly fire shots or to make precise passes to open players.  I really like how she scans the field while anticipating runners slipping into lanes. She can make long ball passes while hitting players in stride.  Everleigh is known for having a strong soccer IQ, and she is not afraid to make quick one-touch passes in or around the box.

Her team won the CCS (Central Coast Section) Division 3 Championship against Mountain View and lost in the semifinals to the eventual NorCal (state champions), the Maria Carrillo Pumas. Everleigh is a former U16 USA youth national futsal player. She also played on the Olympic Club team competing in the USL W-League this past summer. The experience playing at that level will definitely show in her upcoming high school season as her team looks forward to making another impressive run at the titles.

She is great at making crisp passes and finding open pockets. Her quick passes can be attributed to her experience as a former futsal U16 USA youth national player. Her ability to anticipate runs through the middle of the field allows her to step into lanes and make stops. She’s a versatile player who contributes on offense and defense. This is probably my 5th evaluation, and she seems to get better each outing. Porter will definitely use this experience to help her in a breakout sophomore season at Menlo School.

Everleigh Porter Everleigh Porter 5'5" | M/F Menlo School | 2028 State #213 Nation CA is the only player at Olympic Club that is under the age of 18. She played the entire game against Marin FC in a 3-1 win for her side. OC stand in 2nd behind the impressive Stockton Cargo in the Norcal Division. Porter impresses me every time I watch her play she’s so clean on the ball and always seems to have time on the ball. Xavi like.

She has a high soccer IQ and makes quick decisions of whether to hold for possession, distribute, or take on a player 1v1. I saw all of this and also some precise one-touch passes to diagonal and overlapping runners. She is definitely a key player in the Menlo offense this year. Everleigh is also a member of the U.S. Futsal U16 National Team. I can see how she incorporates the quick passes from futsal into her games on the pitch. Her experience on that stage will have a positive impact on her soccer journey. She plays club soccer for Bay Area Surf ECNL.

Porter is a tremendous midfielder with terrific upside. I think she is going to continue to be a climber in the class of 2028 the more I see of her. She can play in multiple spots, but I like her as a No. 6. She brings No. 10 skill and creativity to that spot while maintaining the principles of the holding spot. She loves to turn and exploit space and she will take defenders on. her ability to turn and play a pinpoint ball makes it seem like she has eyes in the back of her head. She just has such awareness that she knows where everyone is.
