Career Assists
“I firmly believe Londen is one of the most complete and impactful high school soccer players to come through Ohio in recent years. He’s consistently demonstrated the qualities that separate elite players from great ones: technical excellence, athleticism, intelligence, leadership and an unwavering competitive drive. What truly makes Londen special, however, is how difficult he is to defend. I can confidently say that preparing a team to defend Londen Sears is one of the most challenging tasks a coach can face.”
Chris Vonau
Head Coach - St. Charles Prep

The No. 177 prospect in his class and the No. 13 recruit regionally on TopDrawerSoccer, he was a two-time United Soccer Coaches All-American as well as a two-time Central District, Capital Conference and Division II state Player of the Year.
