It didn’t take Philadelphia Union Academy standout JD Wagner long to mull his decision about where to go to college.
The 16-year-old from Medford Lakes, New Jersey, made an official visit to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland on Tuesday and announced his verbal commitment two days later on Twitter.
“The coaching staff was extremely welcoming and the campus was beautiful,” Wagner said. “My grandfather served in the Navy, and serving my country is always something I've wanted to do.”
Attending the recent Army-Navy Cup at Talen Energy Stadium also played a factor.
