The Class of 2021 at Providence College now includes a promising defender, after Diego Garcia (Wilmington, Mass.) pledged to the Big East program in early March.
Garcia, 18, plays for Independent School League side Buckingham Browne & Nichols and on the club circuit for GPS Massachusetts.
Throughout the recruiting process, Garcia was focused on finding a school in the city. Now, he’s visited Providence’s campus “probably eight times or so,” fostering a close relationship with assistant coach Dave DeMello.
