West Virginia Gains Commitment From Hawaii HS State Champion Evan Wong (2024)
Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
Evan Wong of Honolulu, Hawaii, has announced his commitment to swim and study at West Virginia University next fall. Wong, a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American and Diversity Select Camp attendee, is currently a senior at Iolani High School. He also swims year-round with the Iolani Swim Club.
“I am thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to WVU. I would like to thank my parents, friends, teammates and coaches for supporting me. I would also like to thank Coach Ivan Batsanov for training me over the last decade and all the WVU coaching staff who have given me the opportunity of a lifetime. #gomountaineers”
Wong’s event focus is middle-distance freestyle. He competed as a relay swimmer at Summer Junior Nationals, where he logged a personal best time of 1:54.77 in the 200m free as his team’s lead-off leg.
Prior to Juniors, Wong set a handful of best times at Futures in Sacramento. He dropped nearly two seconds in the 400m free en route to a 16th place finish (4:09.56) and nearly a second in the 100m free to clock a 53.73.
Earlier this year, Wong successfully defended his Hawaii High School State Championship titles in the 200 and 500 freestyle. He won the 500 by almost five seconds with a 4:37.33 in finals, while in the 200 free he stopped the clock at 1:40.04 to clear the field by almost two seconds.
Top SCY Times:
- 100 free – 45.67
- 200 free – 1:39.37
- 500 free – 4:30.51
Under the direction of head coach Vic Riggs, the Mountaineers finished 3rd out of 3 teams at the 2023 Big 12 Championships. Wong is poised to be an immediate contributor for West Virginia at the conference level, as his best time in the 500 would have placed in the middle of the B-final last season.
Last season the middle-distance group was led by Roanoke Shirk, who logged a 4:26.78 at Big 12s to finish 6th. His teammates William Mullen and Max Nielsen were just behind in 7th (4:27.06) and 8th (4:29.48), respectively. Mullen owns the top time so far this season at 4:28.58 from the West Virginia Invite.
Wong will be joined by Carter Kegle, Zach Zornan Ferguson, Joey Stebbins, Patton Graziano, Nick Lugo, and Erik Petruzzi in the Mountaineers’ incoming class next fall.

4-Star 2025 Running Back Deandre Desinor (5’10″/175) has flipped his commitment from West Virginia to NC State.
BREAKING: Class of 2025 RB Deandre Desinor ( @1deandredesinor ) has flipped his commitment from West Virginia to NC State he tells me.

Deandre Desinor is a 5’10 (180 LBS) Running Back out of Delray Beach, FL. With a total of 40+ offers Deandre had been committed to WVU since… pic.twitter.com/75Krww0FZL— Steezo (@SteezoDsgn) January 7, 2025
Back on June 4th, Desinor verbally committed to the Mountaineers, but today he decided to join his Atlantic (Delray Beach, Florida) teammate Wide Receiver Teddy Hoffman, who flipped his commitment from FAU to run with the Wolfpack on National Signing Day (December 6th).
ESPN ranks Desinor as a 4-Star prospect, and Rivals ranks him as the #11 All-Purpose Running Back nationally in the 2025 recruiting class.
This season, he rushed for 711 yards and 8 touchdowns, averaging 6.6 yards per carry. Desinor also had 28 receptions for 302 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also averaged 30.9 yards on kickoff returns and 16.2 yards per punt return.
Desinor also held offers from Miami, FSU, Florida, Texas, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Penn St., Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Pitt, UCF, Louisville and others.
West Virginia RB signee Desinor flips to North Carolina State
West Virginia will not have one member of the 2025 class that signed in December join the football program as Coconut Creek (Fla.) Atlantic Community 2025 running back Deandre Desinor has flipped his pledge to North Carolina State.
Desinor, 5-foot-9, 168-pounds, signed with the Mountaineers Dec. 4 but requested his release from the football program sometime after.
That led to North Carolina State making a push and ultimately securing his commitment.
Desinor initially committed to the Mountaineers June 3 following an official visit to campus and remained that way until requesting his release. During his senior season, Desinor rushed for 674 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Mountaineers now have 21 signed commitments in the 2025 class.
