Tribe Spotlight: Bend it like Wade Barrett '98

by Sarah Mellman '12
William and Mary Alumni Association

As the William and Mary Tribe, we support each other, delighting in our victories and commiserating in our losses. Wade Barrett '98 truly embodies the Tribe spirit; he is a team player, both on and off the field. A prominent soccer player at the College during his undergraduate career, Barrett was drafted in the 1998 Major League Soccer (MLS) draft to the San Jose Earthquakes, a team that in 2006 relocated to Texas and became the Houston Dynamo. From rookie to MLS champ and then playing in Europe, and, finally, assistant coach of the Houston Dynamo, Barrett is constantly climbing the ranks while supporting his team every step of the way.
