Rochester Swim Club’s Grafton Parlette has verbally committed to Ohio State for fall 2021. Parlette is a senior at Rochester Century High School in Minnesota.
I am extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to The Ohio State University. I chose Ohio State because of the amazing athletic and academic program, and spectacular team and coaching staff. I look forward to joining a great team with a great culture. Go Bucks!!
