Chad Severs (born August 13, 1982 in Vineland, New Jersey) is an American soccer player.
Severs attended Ocean City High School in Ocean City, New Jersey where he is currently the second all-time leading scorer in New Jersey prep history. His 159 career goals are just two shy of Tab Ramos' record of 161. Severs once scored 8 goals in a high school game, a South Jersey record. In 1999-2000, during his junior and senior seasons, at Ocean City High School, he helped capture two New Jersey Group III state co-championships. During his youth, he played his club soccer for the seven-time New Jersey State Cup Champions, Mercer United Warriors. In 2000, he would end his youth career with the newly founded Match Fit Academy. He was also a regular on the Region 1 Olympic Development Team and is a 2000 Adidas Elite Soccer Program Alumni.
Severs accepted a full athletic scholarship and played his college soccer at Penn State University from 2001-2004. While with Penn State, he led the team in scoring for three straight years, from 2002-2004. He finished his Nittany Lion career ninth in all-time career goals (38) and points (90). This achievement also places him sixth in the Big Ten Conference record books. In 2001, he earned Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Year honors and was named Penn State Freshman Male Student Athlete of the Year. He was selected to Second-Team All-Big Ten and College Soccer News National All-Freshman Second Team. During that same year, the Nittany Lions would make it to the NCAA Tournament "Sweet Sixteen". In 2002, Severs had a breakout year scoring 17 goals while he led the Nittany Lions to a Big Ten Tournament Championship and onto the NCAA Tournament "Elite 8". For his efforts in his sophomore campaign, he garnered First-Team All-Big Ten honors and Honorable Mention on the College Soccer News All-American Team. In 2003, Severs totaled 7 goals and added 3 assists. In the same year, Penn State would fall one game short of capturing their second straight Big Ten Tournament Championship and losing out on the NCAA tournament for the first time in Severs' career. They lost in the Big Ten Championship game to Indiana University in penalty kicks. Although, a mediocre year by the Nittany Lion squad, Severs would get attention on the Middle-Atlantic All-Region Second-Team.
