Nathan Wakefield of Poseidon Swimming in Virginia has verbally committed to the University of South Carolina.
Excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim at the University of South Carolina as a part of the class of 2023! After touring on campus and interacting with the team, I knew South Carolina felt like home. Athletically and academically, I believe that I will be able to be very successful. Thank you to all of those who helped me through this process. I can’t wait to be a part of the team! Go Cocks!
