When Kwabena Kwakwa first trained at the Right to Dream Academy in Accra, Ghana, Ousseni Bouda served as a tour guide of sorts.
Now, Kwakwa is set to join Bouda in the college soccer ranks at Stanford after verbally committing to the Cardinal’s Class of 2021 earlier this week.
Kwakwa is a junior midfielder at Middlesex, while Bouda won the 2018 NEPSAC Class C title at Millbrook before becoming the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2019.
