“Extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. Thankful for the last two years at Florida State. Thank you to all of my teammates, coaches, and family. I am especially thankful for my parents, my sister Maddie, my girlfriend Emily, Coach Beck and Coach Barton for helping me get to this point.

At Florida State, he was a qualifier for ACC Championships in both his freshman year (50 free, 100 fly, and 200 fly) and sophomore year (100 fly and 200 IM).
