The San Juan, Puerto Rico native will be living on the mainland for the first time and coming to South Carolina from a very small all-girls school. Her dream is to become a leader in the sports industry, while also opening the doors for more inclusion within it.
Competing as a DECA club member in high school helped Hannah Margeson step outside her comfort zone to focus her interest in sport and entertainment management. The Virginia native hopes to follow UofSC alumni she met during a visit to the Washington Capitals marketing offices.
Every day since the beginning of her junior year in high school, Simmons, a New Jersey native, started her morning by looking at Google images of the UofSC Columbia campus. She would then write a note and repeat aloud her mantra: “I will be a student at UofSC fall 2021.”
Madelin McLean is a person who never stops. In high school, the Maryland native competed in three sports and was a member of five clubs and four honor societies. She did it all while earning a 4.2 weighted core GPA and earning an Academic Scholar Recognition Award along with her admission to South Carolina.
First-generation student Jordan Mooring is also coming to South Carolina with a specific career goal in mind: to be an NFL agent. Mooring knows she will need to stand out to succeed in a very competitive, and historically male-dominated field, but life has taught her to gain strength from challenges.
Devon Watson comes to South Carolina after graduating as valedictorian of his high school in McDonough, Georgia. Playing soccer all four years while maintaining that level of academic excellence required him to cultivate time management skills, and he also found a determination to raise the bar.
