Ryan Jack grew up in Northern Virginia, right outside of Washington D.C. where he played soccer for Elite Clubs National League (ENCL) Boy’s soccer as a youth and then moved to play at Virginia Development Academy (VDA).
From VDA, Jack received his offer to attend the University of Kentucky, where he claimed it was an “easy decision” choosing to further his soccer career as a Wildcat.
“I thought the staff was great,” Jack said. “Facilities were awesome and I got to watch a game and then I thought it was a great place. All the fans and the atmosphere here and just everything that they provided for us was pretty amazing, so I think it was an easy, easy decision.
