Jesse Washington from Bermuda has given his verbal commitment to Southern Methodist University for the class of 2022. He will suit up with Brayden Rudd, Connor Dalbo, John Pate, and Joseph Carson in the fall of 2018.
“I am very excited to announce my verbal commitment to SMU! The D1 swimming, outstanding academics, supportive coaches and spectacular facilities made my decision very easy. Coach Eddie Sinnott and Coach Mitch Dansky have been amazing throughout my recruiting process and I am looking forward to training under them alongside my teammates. Thank you to everyone for their continued support in helping me get this far in my swimming career. I couldn’t be happier to become a Mustang! #PonyUp!”

He is a human being. Foreigners are martians or extraterrestrial beings. If we are attacked by aliens, we on Earth will learn to respect each other as equal!!!!
