Former Wylie High Pirate Helps Lead Washington Huskies to 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer College Cup Championship

Former Wylie High School standout Osato Enabulele helped secure the 2025 NCAA D1 Men’s Soccer College Cup Championship for the University of Washington. Enabulele, a Wylie High Class of 2025 graduate, started and finished the intense, sudden-death overtime match Dec. 15, where the Huskies claimed a thrilling 3–2 victory over North Carolina State.

The championship marks the first men’s soccer national title in University of Washington history, and an unforgettable milestone for a Wylie ISD alum making waves at the collegiate level.

A Championship Run for the Ages

The Huskies’ road to the title was nothing short of remarkable. Washington won six straight playoff games on the road, each one against a higher-ranked team, before clinching the national championship. Despite being unranked heading into the playoffs, the team defied the odds and made NCAA history, and Enabulele played a pivotal role in their success.

Proud To Be Wylie ISD

Before he became a national champion, Enabulele was a dedicated student-athlete in Wylie ISD, recognized for his leadership, character, and exceptional work ethic. Wylie High Varsity Boys Soccer Coach Scott Dillon, who coached Enabulele all four years, highly praises the former Pirate.

“He was the best—overall character, grades, hard work—the best we’ve ever had,” Dillon said. “He led by example. He was district MVP two years ago when we went 15–1, and last year he was the district’s Defender of the Year.”

Dillon recalled encouraging Enabulele to choose soccer over basketball as a freshman in high school, something they both now smile about.

“I told him I’d twist his arm if I had to, because I thought he’d be a great soccer player. And he was,” Dillon said. “He later told me, ‘Coach, I’m a soccer player.’ He had all the talent and ability.”

Enabulele began his first college season as a non-starter, but as the playoff push approached, Washington coaches placed the freshman defender in the starting lineup, where he remained throughout the championship run.

“To start for a Division I soccer program as a freshman is an incredible achievement,” Dillon noted. “Their top recruiting priority is to go overseas. For him to start? That’s special.”

Dillon, now in his 13th year leading Wylie High boys soccer, didn’t hesitate when reflecting on Enabulele’s impact.

“He’s the best soccer player to come out of Wylie High during my time here,” he said. “I’m really proud of that kid.”

A Pirate Making Waves on a National Stage

From the turf at Wylie High to the national spotlight of NCAA Division I soccer, Enabulele embodies what it means to be Proud To Be Wylie ISD. His success reflects the district’s commitment to nurturing student talent and character both on and off the field.
