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.

"I chose Division III because I had a special opportunity to play with my brother when he was a senior and I was a freshman which was very meaningful for me and my family. We also won the championship that season, which made the experience even more unforgettable. I believed this level would give me the best chance to grow as both a student and an athlete."
