This is based ONLY on college! DUPR

💥collin_shick7 is the GOAT of college pickleball having won the inaugural DUPR College Pickleball Team Championships in 2022 and a triple crown at the 2023 Individual Championships. He also took 2nd place in the 2023 DURP Team Championships. He will always live in college pickleball lore. unc_pickleball

💥 @thejackmunro won 2/3, 2024 DUPR Individual College National Championships Events (men's singles and men's doubles). This past college calendar year was Munro's first year on the college scene and he delivered in a big way helping to put longhornspickleball on the map. He definitely has the potential to rise in the GOAT ranks of College Pickleball, but he needs more accolades.

💥One of the OG's of Collegiate Pickleball, Dylan Ciampini (rainbow.pb) threw it down for Utah Tech in the early days. Her best tourney in college came at the 2023 individual national championships where she won gold in women's doubles and singles, and earned 2nd behind Shick in mixed doubles. She also came in 2nd at the 2022 DUPR Team Nationals. trailblazerpickleball

💥meh_safdar was your big 2024 Individual National Championship winner, earning gold in women's doubles and mixed doubles alongside michaelasplund_. With fall 2023 being pickleballIclubiu's first semester competing, she doesn't have a long list of accolades. But with 2 years of eligibility left, we could see more of Safdar accomplish a lot more in college pickleball.
