“Ousseni Bouda is the most natural and prolific goal-scorer I’ve seen at his age. As a forward he has everything: strength, power, pace, first touch. He’s selfish at the right times and a good teammate at others. To say he’s one of the finest players I’ve seen in 25 years of coaching in the U.S. is an understatement.”

Exemplary Character

A dorm leader at his school, Bouda has served as an advisor for international students at Millbrook and has collected used sports equipment to be sent to children in his country of origin, Burkino Faso. At the Right to Dream Academy (RTD) in Ghana, he served as a dorm prefect (the equivalent of a college RA), one of eight students so selected by faculty. Also a student ambassador at Millbrook, he serves as a client-facing resource at gatherings for both prospective students and alumni.
