Bailey said of his decision,
“I have selected the University of Tennessee because I loved the school and their swim program. After meeting with the coaching staff and team members it felt like I was at home. I am excited to attend University of Tennessee to pursue my degree in Architecture as well as continue my swimming career…. Having swum on such a small high school team and club team I feel that being given the opportunity to to swim on a Division 1 team is a blessing! Go Vols!”
Really?
