LOCAL BEGINNINGS TO NATIONAL SUCCESS 3 ODP PATHS, 3 INCREDIBLE STORIES
On this episode of the On the Line Podcast, host Priestly sits down with three standout former Maryland ODP players, each taking a completely different path in their soccer journey. All proving that hard work and passion can take you anywhere.
First up, Will Marbray takes the mic as a Maryland ODP alum (2022–2024) and 2024 ODP National Team player. Will talks about continuing his career at the NCAA Division III level, now in his second year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and what it means to balance high-level soccer with academics.
Then, we go global with Sarah Dewitt, U13–U17 Maryland ODP and Regional Team standout (2013–2015), NCAA Division I captain at St. Francis College and George Mason University, professional player in Australia’s Victorian Premier League with Keilor Park SC and now a MARYLAND ODP COACH! She shares her incredible first season abroad, winning the Golden Boot (23 goals) and being named League Player of the Year.
Finally, we hear from Austen Veach, former 17U ODP Boys Captain and two-time ODP National Team member (2023 & 2024). Austen opens up about his drive to go pro, what it’s like competing at the highest youth level, and how he’s preparing for the next step in his career at Lock Haven University (DII).
From local beginnings to international success — this episode has it all.
