Rylee Erisman has given her verbal commitment to Cal, and will graduate early to join them.
Erisman announced on social media that she made the change in class as well as committed.
“I’m honored and excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of California, Berkeley. I would also like to announce I will be reclassifying to the graduating class of 2026. I’m so grateful for my family, coaches at Laker Swim, and friends who have supported me throughout this journey. A special thank you to all the coaching staff at CAL! I could not be more excited for this opportunity! GO BEARS,” Rylee Erisman wrote.
