Well, now, if ya ain’t heard of Drew Hutchins, let me tell ya a bit ’bout him. This feller’s been making his mark in the world of soccer, and folks around NC State sure been talkin’ about him lately. Drew Hutchins ain’t no stranger to the game, let me tell ya that much. He’s been workin’ his way up the ranks and now, he’s part of the coaching staff for NC State men’s soccer, a big ol’ leap in his career. That Marc Hubbard, the head coach over there, he made the announcement back on February 19, 2024, that Drew’s joinin’ the Wolfpack family. Ain’t that somethin’?
Now, Drew’s not just some fella who showed up outta nowhere. He’s got a history, y’know. Back in the day, between 2010 and 2013, he played as a goalkeeper for the Stanford Cardinal. You might say he knew what it took to block those tough shots, and who did he learn from? Well, none other than the mighty Smith, who was the associate head coach at Stanford at the time. Drew sure had some good folks showin’ him the ropes. He wasn’t just sittin’ on the sidelines, no sir, he was out there with his gloves on, protectin’ that goal with all he had.
Now, after all them years playin’, Drew took a step into coaching, and he didn’t take long to make a name for himself. Before joinin’ NC State, he spent two seasons down at Cornell, helpin’ out with their men’s soccer team. That’s where he really honed his skills as a coach, working hard to train and guide the players. Folks say Drew got a way with folks, real good at explainin’ the game and helping the team improve. Ain’t no wonder Marc Hubbard wanted him on his squad!
But it ain’t all about soccer with Drew. He’s also got a lotta folks on social media, I reckon. You can find his profile on LinkedIn, where he’s been connectin’ with all sorts of professionals. Now, I ain’t too sure ’bout all them business things, but I hear tell Drew’s got more than 90 folks followin’ him on there. That’s a mighty big network, if you ask me!
Some people might think Drew’s a simple coach, just there to give out instructions. But if ya take a closer look, you’ll see he’s a man with a real passion for the sport, someone who’s been workin’ his tail off both on the field and off it. Drew’s got a history of success, and now he’s bringin’ all that experience to NC State. So, don’t be surprised if ya hear a lot more about this feller in the future. He’s got big things ahead, I reckon!
