Tavin Morgan '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming since I was 10 years old and competitively since I was 12.  What started as a way to stay active during the summer, has grown into my athletic passion. Although I was diagnosed early in life with reactive airway disease, and since outgrown this, I worked through it and won the 100 yard freestyle at the Greater Knoxville Area Interleague Swimming Association’s Championship meet for my age group.  Being a multi-sport athlete as I have grown up, has helped me learn the value of both individual effort and team sportsmanship.

I have the desire to personally succeed while also motivating those around me to do their best as well.  Academically I am striving to be a valedictorian and graduate from college and go on to earn a Master’s degree.  Athletically, I want to achieve at the highest levels.  More than this, I want to be part of a team with a strong character and academic program which will enable me to personally succeed while also learning about my teammates so I can help them with their success.  One of my highest goals, simply put, is to always work toward and be a better person.
