Alpharetta, Georgia’s Noland Deas has announced his verbal commitment to the University of Alabama for 2018-19. He will join Spencer Walker, another commit to the Tide’s class of 2022.
“I am so incredibly proud to announce my commitment to The University of Alabama! The coaching staff, team, and university as a whole are really something special. I want to thank my coaches at Swim Atlanta, my family, and my teammates for helping me get to this point. Can’t wait to join and work with this awesome swim program! Roll Tide!!”
Deas is a two-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American from Centennial High School in Roswell. He is an Eagle Scout and six-time individual finalist at the last three Georgia 6A state meets.

His top times in those, along with other key SCY events, came out of his championship meets last winter swimming with his club team, SwimAtlanta.

Then at the American Short Course Championship he dropped time in the 100/1650 free and 100 fly. This summer, he renewed his LCM times in the 50/100/200/400 free and 100 fly at Georgia Swimming Senior State Championships.
