NEW COMMIT:\u00a0<\/strong>Texas A&M University has received a new verbal commitment for the 2021-22 season and beyond from three-time U.S. Open qualifier Trey Dickey<\/strong> of Murphy, Texas.<\/p>\n

This is the Aggies’ third in-state early verbal as Dickey will join fellow in-state standouts Munzy Kabbara<\/strong><\/a> and Tyler Hulet<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in College Station as a member of the class of 2025.<\/p>\n

Primarily a distance freestyler, Dickey does his club swimming with City of Richardson Swim Team and recently achieved eight best times at the COR Classic Invitational last month. This past summer, the USA Swimming Scholastic All-American won the 1500m free at Austin Sectionals and registered five lifetime bests at NCSAs last short course season. A current junior at Plano East Senior High School, Dickey placed 12th in the 200 free and 14th in the 500 free as a sophomore after racing to 12th in the 500 free during his freshman season at the Texas 6A State Championships.<\/p>\n

Regarding his commitment, he said:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m incredibly thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to swim for Texas A&M in 2021! I\u2019m honored to join the A&M family and I would like to thank my amazing family and coaches that have helped me get here. Gig \u2018em!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
