Mile High Dive Club’s Andrew Garrison has committed to the United States Naval Academy’s men’s program as a part of the Midshipmen’s 2026 recruiting class.
Garrison was ranked as the 10th-best diving recruit in SwimSwam’s ranking of the top 10 male divers in the class of 2026 in October.
I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the United States Naval Academy to continue my academic and athletic journey. I am so thankful for all the people who helped me get to this point, and I cannot wait to spend my college years with the midshipmen. GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!! @milehighdiveclub @navydive #usna #beatarmy #usnaclassof2030

Garrison has been improving his difficulty on his dives, and his major meet experience will be a key factor for Navy in the pursuit of a Patriot League title.
Navy’s Blake Shaw and Finn Gelbach finished 1-2 at the Patriot League Championships last season in both the 1 and 3 meter, demonstrating the level of success of the Midshipmen diving program.
Garrison joins Louis St. Petery, Will Charlton, Danny Lesinski, Andrew Vanas, Gavin Tran, Chase Wilkerson, Paul Mullen, Tyler Koepp, and Jack Kulp in Navy’s 2026 recruiting class.
Go Navy!
