Collin Willeford has been selected as a recipient of the PHS Zeus Athletic Booster Club Scholarship, recognizing his athleticism, academic discipline, impact, and outstanding leadership throughout his athletic career at Pieper.
Collin has had a lasting impact on the water polo program through his involvement all four years and two years as Captain. His hard work and dedication have uplifted the program, allowing water polo at Pieper to grow in a way that will be felt long after he graduates. He has been a leader not just in title, but in the way he shows up every day, sets the standard, and inspires those around him to rise to it.
Throughout high school, Collin built an impressive list of accomplishments and recognitions. He graduated Summa Cum Laude and has been actively involved in UT OnRamps, AP courses, the National Honor Society, and Dual Credit English. Through these he earned recognition as a UIL Scholar and AP Scholar, and will be graduating with 30 to 40 college credit hours, reflecting his dedication to academic excellence and college readiness. Balancing that level of academic rigor alongside a four-year commitment to a varsity sport speaks volumes about his character and work ethic.
Collin will continue his educational journey at Texas A&M University Mays Business School, where he plans to major in Finance with a focus in Commercial Real Estate. At A&M, Collin plans to carry forward the same determination, leadership, and discipline that have helped him succeed thus far. His achievements reflect not only academic success, but also character, commitment, and a strong foundation for the future.
We are incredibly proud of everything Collin has accomplished and excited to see all that lies ahead for him. Congratulations, Collin, on this well-deserved scholarship and best of luck as you begin this next chapter.
