Quincy Wilson is currently evaluating the best possible option for his college future and shared an update about the latest development. Bennie Brazell, assistant coach for the LSU Track and Field program, paid the 17-year-old a visit at his high school and gave him some knowledge about the program.
Given his amazing, record-breaking performances at the New Balance Grand Prix in 2024, the American athlete gained a lot of recognition. Through his on-track skills, he also earned a spot on the US Olympic Team. Wilson became the youngest male track athlete from the United States to reach the gold medal in the men's 4x400-meter relay, which Team USA ultimately won.
Soon after the Olympic Games, Quincy Wilson made multiple visits to different colleges to learn about their track programs and shared regular updates with fans on social media.
