The Moody men's soccer team adds Aidan McHugh and Jacob Gravlin to the roster for the 2021 season. Both 2021 graduates, McHugh played at Reeths-Puffer High School, while Gravlin played at Mona Shores High School, both in the Muskegon area.
McHugh and Gravlin attended the same youth group during high school and will both enter the Biblical Studies Program in the fall.
McHugh is a versitile player, taking up roles in both the defensive and midfield areas. In addition to playing soccer, McHugh is a state ranked pole vaulter finishing T-6th in the state his senior year.
"We are thrilled to add Aidan to our group for the fall," said head coach Jon Forsythe. "He will be a good physical presence for us, and his ability to play effectively in a number of different positions will be a great asset for our team."
Gravlin played primarily as a right back through his high school career. He played in a very strong Mona Shores defense, contributing to a District Title in 2020.
"Jacob is a great addition to our team this fall," Forsythe said. "He is a determined defender, and really understands his role in the back line. His athleticism and refusal to be beat in the 1v1 will help Jacob a lot as he transitions to the college game."
The men's soccer season kicks off at home on Sept. 8 against Indiana University - Northwest.
