Naperville North senior Colin McMahon’s passion for soccer was born from numerous backyard battles with his brother Aidan, who is three years older.

Both were offensive-minded, and their competition was fierce. That played a key role as Colin McMahon developed his skills from an early age.

“Growing up, we had a lot of back-and-forth and went against each other all the time,” Colin McMahon said. “So he really prepared me, and he’s someone who I really look up to in my soccer journey.

“My brother was the first person in our family to play college sports, so I’m just trying to follow in his shoes. He just paved the way for me.”

Aidan McMahon , a forward, played three years of varsity soccer for the Huskies and plays at Ohio Northern.
