SAN FRANCISCO – Entering his second season, University of San Francisco men's soccer head coach Leonard Griffin continues to round out his roster. To that end, he is pleased to announce the addition of 'keeper Michael "Charley" McKay (Menlo Park, Calif./Menlo-Atherton HS/Silicon Valley Soccer Academy).
 
"Charley is a goalkeeper with a very high ceiling," said Leonard. "He will help bolster an extremely strong and deep goalkeeping core. A Bay Area native and alum of Silicon Valley Soccer Academy, Charlie brings fantastic experience playing at the highest level of youth soccer in North America. We are thrilled to have Charlie join the Dons Family."
 
He was a three-time letter winner at Menlo-Atherton for head coach Leo Krupnik and the Bears.  McKay earned all-league honors his sophomore and junior season. He started 52 matches as a prep and had a habit for making clutch stops, recording seven saves on penalty kicks his sophomore year alone – three coming in the first round of the Central Coast Section playoffs. 
 
He finished his final season playing for Menlo-Atherton with 106 saves and posted a 0.31 goals against average while tallying eight clean sheets. The Bears advanced to the CCS playoffs all three years McKay was in net.
 
On the club level, McKay played for two excellent programs for over five years. He started with the De Anza Force Academy from 2015-19. During that time, he finished with an undefeated season and tallied six shutouts and surrendered just three goals. Last year, he played for coach Hugo Perez at the Silicon Valley Soccer Academy.
 
McKay will enroll in the fall and be joining the incoming class that includes Nonso Adimabua, Filip Kanold, Brandon Keniston, and Ilijah Paul.
