Classroom
A three-time Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention selection, Adam Mosharrafa owns a 3.52 GPA and is a computer science major. This spring, he was awarded best senior group project in CS-210—a software project experience class—for Aerie-Tech, a platform that provides situational awareness to first-responders by using autonomous drones to survey desired areas. Mosharrafa has also interned as a software developer at Tophatter, a revolutionary e-commerce company.
Character
For the past two years, Mosharrafa has worked as a section leader for Stanford’s introductory computer science class (CS106A), teaching weekly sections to small groups and tutoring students. A multi-talented student-athlete, he also co-wrote the country song “Damn Good Time” in 2015 with up-and-coming country artist Tyler Dial. In his free time, Mosharrafa also created a computer application to randomize roommates for the team when they travel for away matches.
Community
Mosharrafa’s main community service at Stanford has involved volunteering at soccer clinics in the Bay Area’s local schools. He does the bulk of the clinics in the spring, but goes out during the soccer season when he has the availability.
Competition
The redshirt senior defender has appeared in every one of Stanford’s 46 matches the past two seasons, making 45 starts. During that time, the Cardinal has not only won a pair of national championships, but also has done so without allowing a goal in either tournament. The team also owns an active NCAA-record postseason shutout streak of 12 matches—a stretch of 1,214 minutes and 20 seconds. Mosharrafa played right back during the Cardinal’s 2016 national championship campaign when its defense finished fourth in the country with a 0.56 goals-against average. Last season with Mosharrafa at center back, Stanford’s 0.382 goals-against average set school and conference records and was second nationally. With Mosharrafa in the starting lineup, the Cardinal has posted a 0.47 goals-against average with 29 shutouts. He is also a perfect 4-for-4 on his attempts in penalty kick shootouts in the postseason during his career.
