ABOUT ME

Compete with purpose.
Improve every day.

My name is Tyler Tirch, and I am a Class of 2028 student-athlete preparing to begin my U17 season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

As a wingback and outside back, I take pride in being a two-way player who combines defensive intensity, speed, and vision with the ability to contribute in the attack. Prior to IMG, I spent four seasons with PWSI, serving as a team captain and helping lead my team to a Virginia State Cup Final appearance.

Since joining IMG Academy in January 2026, I have trained in a highly competitive environment that challenges me on and off the field. Academically, I carry a 3.9 GPA through a rigorous course load that includes Honors and AP classes.

My goal is to find a college program that values academic excellence, athletic development, and team-first competition.
