COmiskey played at the ID2 Regional Camps (2013-14) and with the Wisconsin Fire (2013-15).

Off the pitch, he plays the electric and acoustic guitars and was on the High Honor Roll in every semester of high school.

Comiskey on why he chose Wisconsin:
“I chose to attend Wisconsin because… the success of Coach Trask and his coaching staff is unquestioned. Not only has this team been to two straight Big 10 Championships, winning last year, but the quality of the players that eventually leave this university is as high as anywhere in the country. I am extremely excited to begin representing my home state at the University of Wisconsin-Madison this fall.”

Coach Tiemeyer on Comiskey:
“Matthew ticks many of our recruiting boxes. He is a talented soccer player and a very good student. In addition to playing with the highly successful youth teams at Bavarians, Matthew has joined the Bavarian’s Majors on occasion. These experiences, combined with his success at Whitefish Bay High School, have paved Matthews path as the National High School Player of the Year.”
