Four athletes from St. Brendan High School made their futures evident last week, as they officially signed letters of intent or celebrated their commitment to attend colleges across the country for their sport. Nov. 12 marks the first day that high school seniors could sign scholarship papers for the following sports: baseball, basketball, golf, lacrosse, softball, swimming, tennis, volleyball, water polo (girls only), track & field and wrestling. The letter of intent is a binding agreement between the student-athlete and a college, by which the student-athlete agrees to attend the college for one academic year.
- Benito Varela will play baseball for the Stetson Hatters
- Nicolas Lares and Hugo Casilla will play baseball for the University of Bridgepoint Purple Knights
- Zuhayr Pigot will swim for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels.
All three baseball players received full academic/athletic scholarship, Zuhayr earned a 65% athletic scholarship.
St. Brendan administration, faculty and staff would like to wish all four boys the best of luck in the collegiate career.
