Get to Know CSUB Men's Soccer: Midfielders

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The countdown to the start of the Cal State Bakersfield's men's soccer season is in the single digits and we are continuing our deep dive into Interim Head Coach Adam Grant's 2023 squad.
 
Before the season officially starts on Thursday, Aug. 24, we want to introduce fans to the team, providing more insight into the person behind the name, number, and uniform. Next up in our position-by-position breakdown of the `Runner men's soccer team, meet Bakersfield's midfielders.

Notable
  • Grant on the `Runner midfielders: "We added a few transfers and freshmen who have played at a really high level and that's going to help us. Kevin coming back from injury has been really important and Nathan, who was a true freshman last year and really added minutes so he has played in the Big West and understands his role. We lost a few pieces in there from last year, but we think we've become very athletic and fit in this area."
