With unlimited accolades under his belt and choices to ponder, Lincoln-Sudbury senior Cole DeNormandie has committed to play soccer at the University of Cincinnati.

“Cincinnati works for me, whether I wanted to play soccer or not," said DeNormandie, the Globe Division 1 player of the year. "They’re in the upswing and I want to be apart of that.”

The 6-foot forward is a three-time All-New England selection and a two-time All-American, a goal he had when he began his soccer career. His father was also an All-American.

“Not a lot of people get this opportunity," DeNormandie said. "It’s a testament to the coaches I’ve had and the people I’ve worked with."

Although the Eastern Massachusetts All-Star believes the story has been overdone, it was DeNormandie being cut from two academy teams that set his plan in motion to “prove everyone wrong."

"And I did,” he said.

DeNormandie's season ended with Lincoln-Sudbury's Division 1 North quarterfinal loss. He finished with 17 goals and six assists his senior year.
