Collin Vest serves as the hed diving coach for Georgia Southern, and will be entering his 2nd season with the Eagles.
Campbell swam for Missouri State’s men’s team from 2014-2018, earning the Missouri State Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors in 2018. He also served as an assistant coach at Missouri State Aquatics during his time in Springfield.
