Central College Athletics

Former Dutch all-conference forward Kyle Smith '18 is a sales project manager for Musco Lighting in Pittsburgh.

At Central, athletics is more than a game and education is more than a class. Both represent hard work, commitment, exploration and growth. And together, they help you prepare for your life after Central. Here are some examples of how former Dutch men's basketball players are experiencing success.
