Madison, Wisconsin-native Lain Weaver has given a verbal commitment to The Ohio State University, where he will join fellow verbal commits Benjamin Kuriger, Hudson McDaniel, and RJ Kondalski in the Buckeyes’ class of 2022.
“I would like to announce my commitment to The Ohio State University. Bill Dorenkott and the entire coaching staff are true geniuses of the sport, and I can’t wait to be a part of the Buckeye Nation. Ohio State has all of the resources for me to succeed in and out of the pool. Go Buckeyes!!!”
Weaver is a senior at Madison West High School. He was runner-up in both the 50 free (21.10) and 100 fly (49.75) at the 2017 WIAA Boys Division 1 State Meet last February.

I’ve known this kid since he was 4 years old. He has worked towards this goal all of his life. I’m so proud of him and of everything else he has accomplished. Don’t put others down. Be happy for those who have achieved their dreams.
People should be happy for any kid to get their dream. He had many choices. So cool he gets to swim where his dad did.
Know this kid and he is a good kid, stong work ethic and pretty sure his parents raised him right.
Wait a few years and you will take this comment back.
your parents could do better job raising you…
Have some respect
How disrespectful towards the commit, think before you speak.
Also of note: his dad, Bill Weaver was an all American for Ohio state in the early 90s
