Zain Thompson has been named an American East Conference All-Rookie!
After an extremely impressive freshman season, Zain is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Zain recorded 11 starts and 17 games played in one of the best conferences in the country. With this, he was able to record 4 goals and 2 assists across the season, and the postseason continued for NJIT after beating UNH.
Last year, Zain was playing in Vinaros with Eture FC. After a year of hard work and dedication to the sport, he was able to commit to NJIT. Since his commitment, he has been one of the most impressive rookies in the country, and we are so proud of him.
Keep working, Zain. Good luck in the postseason, and we are rooting for you!
