Matthew Pillans '21 Recruiting Profile

Im a 6’4, 180lbs, SG/SF that loves to shoot the skin off the rock. I recently concluded my second season at Western Texas College, a Division I Region 5 JUCO down in West Texas. In my time at WTC I shot 44% from beyond the arc and served as nothing less than a boost of moral for my Teammates. As a student-athlete, I bring not only a strong commitment to game of basketball but also dedication to academic excellence. Being honored with All-Academic 2nd Team shows my commitment to maintaining high academic standards while still living in the gym. I also received our schools prestigious Westerner Award and was recognized as Mr. WTC, an award given out by the College’s Governmental body. Lastly i received an invitation to the Deans list my third semester at WTC. 

Im in love with the process and journey of being a collegiate athlete. This is the dream I’ve always wanted, to wake up early and go to bed sore from my workout that day. Everyday. It’s the grind I can’t stay away from but, love to embrace. If you think I’d be a good fit for your program don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you !
