Tyler Hoffman, Tracy High Class of 2012, affirmed his college plans recently by committing to California State University, Los Angeles, where he will join the Golden Eagles soccer team in the fall.

Hoffman — who plans to play goalie and major in biology — made his decision to attend CSULA after attending a training camp there in April.

He will join a Golden Eagles team that went 15-2-6 in 2011 and won the California Collegiate Athletic Association conference title and the NCAA Division II Western Region title. The team was also ranked No. 8 in the U.S. by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Hoffman started as a member of the Tracy High soccer team as a freshman. During his senior year, he was named the San Joaquin Athletic Association’s Most Valuable Goalie.

He also was a member of the wrestling team and earned four scholar-athlete awards, an academic block T and a community service block.

Hoffman played for Tracy United Competitive Soccer Club Atletico and last year made the move to the Pleasanton Ballistic under-23 team.

Until Hoffman heads to Los Angeles in late August, he will continue to provide goalie training for players in Tracy Youth Soccer League and play for the Pleasanton Ballistics.
