Florida Gets 2025 Verbal From World Juniors Silver Medalist Jordan Willis
NEW COMMIT: The University of Florida has received a new verbal commitment for the 2025-26 season and beyond from breaststroker Jordan Willis of Waxhaw, North Carolina.
Willis is a member of the U.S. National Junior Team and earned silver in the 200m breast at World Junior Championships this past summer.
Regarding his commitment, he said:
“I am thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic careers at the University of Florida! First and foremost I would like to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity, and my parents, who have given so much to allow me to do what I love. I am truly grateful for my family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who has helped me get to this point. I also would like to thank the coaches at UF for believing in me. GO GATORS!!!”
Willis trains year-round with SwimMAC Carolina. His time of 2:12.07 to place second in the 200m breast at World Juniors was the third fastest time in U.S. history for 16-and-under boys.
His best times include:
- 100 breast – 56.20

Currently a junior at Marvin Ridge High School, Willis placed fifth in the 100 breast at the North Carolina 4A State Championships in 2023. He also swam the breaststroke leg on the 4×50 medley relay that broke the state record.
