Grayson Nye and Brayden Franklin will join the South Carolina men for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Nye will arrive from Tennessee while Franklin arrives from West Virginia.
Nye just finished his sophomore season with the Vols and is originally from North Carolina. He swam to two points at the 2026 SEC Championships as he swam a lifetime best 53.32 in the 100 breast for 23rd, and was slightly faster in prelims with a 53.18. He also was 27th in the 200 breast (1:57.27) and 32nd in the 400 IM (4:05.64).
Nye adds depth to the breaststroke group that featured 100 breast ‘A’ finalist Einar Ágústsson who was 6th in a 51.69 as well as Harvey Freeman who was 22nd in a 52.90 at 2026 SECs.
