"I have had the good fortune to be a Head Coach for college Men’s & Women’s soccer programs since 1995. During that time span, I have witnessed an unbelievable array of intellectual talent, moral character, dedication, leadership, and soccer skills in most of my student athletes I have recruited. Jimmy Carleton is a very special person and student athlete. He excels in all the above traits. It is difficult to decide if he is stronger in the classroom, or in leadership roles, or on the soccer field. Because I have recruited a number of very talented student-athletes, I would find it to be hard pressed not to include Jimmy as a top soccer recruit." - Alvin Alexander, DOC, Lakeland FC

"I have known Jimmy for 4-5 years and have seen him develop into an excellent player. I have had the opportunity to train him and he is always one of the top technical players as well as a fun kid to have around. Jimmy works hard on the field and has excellent touch and vision with the ball. He would be an asset to any program." - Robby Molony, U18 Coach, Lakeland FC
