Diego Coronado from Wendell Idaho and Wendell High School has committed to and signed a National Letter of Intent to play college soccer at Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs WY for the 2016-2017 season.

During Diego's junior year he was instrumental in helping the Wendell High Trojans in winning the 3A Idaho State Soccer Tournament.  During his senior year the team did not fair as well as the previous year but Diego was still voted to and played in an All Star Game.

Diego is a defender who has excelled with both his high school team, Wendell High Trojans, and his club team, Twin Falls Rapids.  Corey Farnsworth coach of the Twin Falls Rapids U18 boys says, "Diego has incredible ball skills and speed that is unmatched on the field. He is very strong when winning aerial balls and has the foot skills to play as an attacking mid. His defensive positioning and timing are generally flawless and his ability to communicate the game along with his effort and relentless desire make him a great player."

At Western Wyoming Diego will come in and immediately have a chance to earn a starting position and playing time as a freshman.  We are very intrigued with his natural speed at the center back position and his ability to win almost everything in the air, skills that are very needed for center backs.  We also know that he has the ability, speed and skills to help us out as an outside defender, outside mid or even in the center of the midfield.  We are very ecstatic to have Diego join the Mustang Soccer family and know that he will do very well for us as we continue to build one of the best and most consistent NJCAA soccer programs in the Inter-mountain West.
