Danny Collins Feature
He is a senior at Drury graduating with a master’s degree in architecture in May and a master’s degree in business administration in August.
To his friends, Collins might be considered an overachiever. But to Collins, his success is merely about hard work. In addition to graduating with two master’s degrees, he starred on the Drury soccer team from 2007-2010.
In October of his senior year, I talked to Danny along with his two teammates Adam Peterson and Alex Palmer (pictured on either side of him) about their experience playing for college soccer in their hometown (Peterson and Palmer are Kickapoo grads). I’ve included the video below.
