SAN ANTONIO -- University of the Incarnate Word head men's golf coach Remy Huston Jr. has announced the signing of Donovan Dastmalchian, an accomplished multi-sport athlete, to play golf for the Cardinals.
 
Dastmalchian, recruited by numerous collegiate coaches to play golf or basketball, decided on UIW's golf program because, he said, "I really liked Coach Huston and his vision for the program, and I want to be a part of it. I also like the outstanding facilities."
 
"Donovan will bring a competitiveness and dedication to the team that will provide a direct impact," Huston said. "I look forward to seeing what the future holds for him individually and how our team will benefit from his drive."
 
Dastmalchian earned a long list of athletic honors during his first three years as a student at Houston's Second Baptist School, where he is presently a senior.
