The University of Georgia has opened its high school class of 2018 recruiting season by landing a verbal commitment from one of the most decorated swimmers in the class: distance standout Madison Homovich. Homovich announced via her Twitter account:
“I’m very Excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Georgia! Go dawgs??!!”
