She's ranked fourth in the entire state. She's posted more than 100 career goals as a 14-year-old. She plays elite-level offense and defense. And somehow, college coaches aren't camped outside her house yet.
OKLAHOMA CITY - OklaNews -- Avery Edgerton won't be a secret much longer. The Mustang South Middle School eighth-grader has already separated herself from the competition in Oklahoma—now she's just waiting for the recruiting world to catch up.
The production speaks for itself. Ten goals and more than 15 assists this fall season. Ranked fourth overall in the state. More than 100 career goals before entering high school. A seven-game Oklahoma Premier League stretch where Mustang United 2010 Girls scored 38 goals and allowed zero—with Edgerton anchoring both midfield and defense.
"My biggest strength is being a two-way player, meaning I can play both defense or offense," Edgerton said. "I also have excellent soccer IQ and play smart."

Smart enough to recognize she's already performing at a level most high school players never reach. Smart enough to know the college offers will come—hopefully from dream schools including Oklahoma, South Florida, Arkansas, Oral Roberts and Missouri.
The tournament resume backs up the ranking. Mustang United won the 2025 Oklahoma President's Cup State Championship and reached the semifinals at President's Cup Regionals in Texas. Individual titles kept stacking: Wichita Open 2010 Champions, SouthLakes Cosmos Cup 2011 Champions, Bob Moore Cadillac Labor Day Cup 2010 Champions, Sporting Arkansas Fall Invitational 2011 Champions.
The bloodline explains the production. Her father Lee played nine years of professional soccer after starring at the University of South Florida, where he scored twice for the US Futsal National Team in a 2004 World Championship qualifier. "Having parents that succeeded at a high level in their crafts has helped me to see what it takes to be successful and what you have to sacrifice if you want to be the best," Edgerton said. "My dad is not only my club soccer coach, but he individually trains me and pushes me to be the best I can be; he knows what it takes because he is one of the most successful soccer players to come out of Oklahoma."

The question isn't whether Edgerton has the talent—it's why more college programs aren't already recruiting an eighth-grader who ranks fourth in an entire state.
"I'm a very skillful player who can see the field very well," Edgerton said. "My foot skills are very strong and I don't get intimidated by someone coming at me for the ball. I can make quick, calculated decisions and execute plays that give our team goal scoring opportunities." The coaches who wait too long will regret it. Avery Edgerton graduates in 2030—and she won't stay under the radar forever.
