Can’t wait to be a “Pilot” and contribute to the team. Excited to face a challenge that is outside of my comfort zone - George Tasouris
Reflecting back on his decision to become a GCU Lope back in 2018, George stated that “I wouldn’t change it for anything. Incredible place to grow both as a player and a person. Combining state-of-the-art facilities with getting my degree, experiencing a new culture. It was the best move I could have done for my future. I am still getting exposure through college games, experience, and cultivating myself in areas outside of the soccer environment.”
