1st Recruit of 2018 - Markell Freeman






Markell Freeman has signed her National Letter of Intent for Women’s Soccer to play for Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs WY.  Markell is from Honeyville Utah and will graduate from Box Elder High in Brigham City UT this spring.

Freeman is a goalkeeper and will join two returning keepers for one of the most talented group of shot stoppers in the region.  Returning for the Mustangs in 2018 in goal will be Lindsey Lemmons and Madeline Kendrick.  In 2017 the WWCC team was 21st in the NJCAA with 9 shutouts and 61st in the NJCAA with 96 saves.

Markell has enjoyed a wealth of success with her past teams.  With the L30 Crush Blue Club team she was part of the 2014 President’s Cup National Champions.  Markell was also a member of the President’s Cup Regional Champions in 2015 and 2016.  Freeman also participated as a Utah 4A State semifinalist with Box Elder in 2015.


Along with her team and club accomplishments her talent, hard work and dedication has not gone unnoticed, as she has picked up several individual awards.  Markell was named to the Northern Utah All-Area team in 2015, 2016 and 2017.  She was part of the Utah ODP in 2013, 2014 and 2015.  With the Box Elder Lady Bees she earned a varsity letter in all 4 years of her high school career.  In 2016 she was named the BEHS most valuable player.  Freeman was named the defensive most valuable player for BEHS during her senior season of 2017.  In 2017 the Salt Lake Tribune also named her to the 5A Honorable Mention All-State team.

Markell Freeman is a tall, athletic keeper who commands her box and can make acrobatic saves if called upon.  Western Wyoming is so happy to add her to the 2018 roster, as we know she can help the team both her freshman and sophomore years.  We look forward to a very promising WWCC soccer career for Markell Freeman.
