The USA South Athletic Conference will once again give institutions the opportunity to spotlight student-athletes each Wednesday as a part of the Conference's #WhyD3Wednesday initiative. In its ninth year, #WhyD3Wednesday allows student-athletes to briefly explain why they chose to attend their Division III institution as well as share some of their favorite things in life. To view this week's submission, please see below and make sure to follow the hashtag #WhyD3Wednesday on the USA South's X (@usa_south) and Instagram (@usa_south) social media platforms throughout the year as League student-athletes share their stories.

Preston Workman - N.C. Wesleyan University - Senior - Baseball
"I chose a Division III institution because I wanted to continue my athletic career while pursuing a degree in supply chain management and organizational leadership with an MBA. The small school feel at N.C. Wesleyan has helped me create strong bonds and long-lasting memories on and off the field."
