The list of former Ball High students making a statement in the pros continues to grow. Former Ball High student Tristin McCollum played in the Super Bowl this past weekend and took care of business.
He joined former Tor Mike Evans as the only Ball High alumni to play in the Super Bowl and win. Triston faced his twin brother Zyon in the NFL playoffs last year when Zyon’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers knocked Tristan’s Eagles out of the playoffs, the first time in NFL history that twin brother faced each other in the playoffs.
Asked about his experience, Tristan grinned. “The lights are brighter, the situation is a little bit more intense, but it has been fun. We’re blessed to be in this position.”
His brother Tristan who plays for the Buccaneers said “He told me it’s in God’s hands and to just take it day-by-day: but he was extremely over-the-moon happy for me. He’s going to be coming to the game, as well as our mom (Trish McCollum, a former Ball High teacher). The support has been nothing but amazing. He’s just very, very excited for the game – probably just as excited as I am.”
