Nick Carlin-Voigt Named Top Assistant for Second-Straight Year
UCLA assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Nick Carlin-Voigt has been selected as one of the top-15 Division I men’s soccer assistant coaches for the second consecutive year, as announced by College Soccer News.
Carlin-Voigt will enter his fourth season as UCLA's assistant coach in 2015. His recruiting success helped catapult the Bruins to the College Cup final this past fall. Carlin-Voigt is considered one of the best recruiters in the country and has brought in the nation’s number one recruiting class each of the past three seasons. Since his arrival in 2012, 11 Bruins were drafted into MLS, highlighted by 2014 MAC Hermann Trophy winner, Leo Stolz. This past fall, Abu Danladi, Seyi Adekoya and Chase Gasper were each named to the Freshman All-America team by College Soccer News.
In addition to his recruiting prowess, Carlin-Voigt is actively involved in all aspects of the UCLA soccer program, including player development, training, scouting, scheduling, soccer-specific fitness training, summer camp development and community outreach.
The former All-American at Kalamazoo College has helped lead the Bruins to the NCAA Tournament in each of his three seasons in Westwood. The Bruins secured the second seed in the NCAA tournament this year after being the top seeded team in the country in 2013.
Having emerged as one of the most talented and respected coaches in the country while at George Mason, Carlin-Voigt helped assemble three consecutive recruiting classes that were ranked in the top 40 according to College Soccer News (2008-10).
