Helena Capital's Dallin Wall signs with Concordia College Minnesota

Dallin Wall, a senior standout for Helena Capital High School, formally signed a national letter of intent on Jan. 9, 2026, to play men's soccer at Concordia College in Minnesota. Wall finished his high-school season with 12 goals and nine assists, capping a campaign that drew attention from college coaches and local supporters.

Wall's decision followed a campus visit to Concordia where he evaluated both the soccer program and academic offerings. He intends to study physical therapy, combining athletic ambition with a career plan that emphasizes long-term health and sports care. The move marks another example of Helena Capital's recent string of players advancing to collegiate rosters, reinforcing the program's reputation for developing student-athletes who can compete at the next level and succeed academically.

Coaches and family members marked the signing as a milestone for Wall and for the program, which has invested in coaching continuity and competitive scheduling to prepare players for college recruiting. For Helena Capital, losing a senior who accounted for a significant share of goals and assists will be a tactical and leadership challenge for the team next season. At the same time, Wall's progression offers an aspirational model for younger players in the program and around Lewis and Clark County.

Wall's academic focus on physical therapy also underscores a broader trend among local athletes who prioritize majors that align with sports medicine, kinesiology, and allied health. That alignment strengthens the case high-school coaches make when recruiting and preparing players for college—showing that athletic advancement need not come at the expense of academic and career planning.

The signing has implications beyond the pitch. Local recruiting momentum can help the high school program attract competitive nonconference matches, encourage community attendance at games, and sustain booster support. For families and student-athletes in Helena, Wall's pathway illustrates practical steps in the college recruiting timeline: productive high-school seasons, campus visits, and declaring academic intentions alongside athletic commitments.

The takeaway? Celebrate Wall's achievement, but also use it as a blueprint. If you have a player aiming for college soccer, prioritize consistent performance, academic planning, and exposure through visits and matches. For the rest of the community, backing youth and high-school programs with attendance and resources helps keep that pipeline moving—and keeps the local pitch fertile for the next Dallin Wall.
