Madison Meador
Fr., D
Ballwin, Mo. (Marquette HS)
Major: Undeclared
What made you choose Ole Miss?
The connection I felt with the coaching staff was instrumental in my decision. They showed a genuine interest in me as a person and player. The values they instill in their players on and off the field was something special that I wanted to be a part of.
What do you like most about Ole Miss and Oxford?
The size, location, and sense of community support are things that stand out to me. The campus itself is extremely beautiful. The town's history, culture, and character give that tight-knit family feel that I'm excited to be a part of.
How did you attract the attention of the coaching staff at Ole Miss?
Playing in the ECNL provided many opportunities for me to participate in developmental programs, camps, and national events. The coaches attended those events and were very supportive.
If you could give any advice to younger players entering the sport, what would it be?
I would say to work hard and have a positive attitude. There will be sacrifices you will have to make along the way. Experiencing the ups and downs will allow you to grow and develop into a better player and person.
If you had a day off from soccer, what would you do?
I would lay out at the pool all day with my sisters.
What are your goals for the season?
Become a contributing member of the Ole Miss Soccer team both on and off the field.
