Reznick told Swimming World,
“I chose Duke because I truly felt it was a program where you were an athlete first and a student first too. The moment I arrived I immediately felt welcomed by the team and the coaches, and the facilities are outstanding. Academically, I’m honored to receive my education at one of the greatest universities in the United States. I’m thrilled to be a Blue Devil! Go Duke!”
Also verbally committed to the Blue Devils are Colson Zucker and Henry Wu.
