Brian Wiese couldn’t believe he was talking to a high school kid.

When the Georgetown men’s soccer coach was recruiting Keegan Rosenberry, the two would sometimes have long phone conversations. And when those calls ended, Wiese would often marvel at what he heard on the other end of the line.

“You get off the phone with him and you’re like, ‘I think that was him and not his dad,’” Wiese says today with a laugh. “He’s an old man in a young man’s body.”

That uncommon wisdom and maturity was a major selling point for Wiese.
