A native of Fuquay-Varina, N.C., Escamilla appeared in 24 matches and earned 23 starts as a midfielder. He recorded 14 shots with six on-goal and netted three goals and added three helpers. He also attended Fuquay-Varina High School where he was named MVP of his team and also earned a spot on the 2021 All-Region 10 Soccer second team.
Escamilla is part of a 10-member recruiting class for Coastal Carolina men's soccer head coach Shaun Docking for the fall of 2022.
Docking on Escamilla: "Alex will join our program this fall after being identified at our ID showcase this past Christmas. He is a player with quick feet and technically very good, with a great soccer brain. We expect Alex to compete right away for playing and starting time this fall after having spent two years at the junior college level."
