Former Valley View standout Torre returning home, joining UTRGV soccer

Former Valley View standout and North Texas SC soccer player Pablo Torre is coming home. Torre is joining UTRGV’s men’s soccer program for the 2024 fall season, the team announced via an Instagram post Wednesday.

The 20-year-old forward starred for 3 1/2 years at Valley View, serving as a key component of the team’s dominant runs between 2019-22. His junior year proved to be his best, scoring a Valley-leading 37 goals in 14 district games and carrying the Tigers to their third state tournament appearance.

In 2022, the then-senior opted to forgo the remainder of his final year at Valley View, leaving the team midway through district play to sign with North Texas SC. Torre had netted seven goals in five district games that season.

Torre spent the next two years in Arlington competing with North Texas SC, appearing in 31 games and starting in seven during that span. The 6-foot-1 striker recorded six goals and two assists during his two-year stint with the team before ultimately not seeing his contract renewed at the end of the 2023 season.

The McAllen native is the third RGV native on UTRGV’s roster for the 2024 season, joining Brownsville native and former RGV FC goalkeeper Alexis Gonzalez and Edinburg native and RGV FC Academy product Arev Vera.
