The reel caught the new NCAA recruit saying, “Two years ago I put out in the universe that I wanted to make a Division 1 track team. Now I’m so excited to be here today and officially announce that to the best of my knowledge, I’ve become the first above-the-knee amputee to ever be recruited, receive an offer, and now commit to a Division 1 school for track and field.”

This was followed by Ezra donning a University of Southern California cap. He also unzipped his hoodie to reveal that he was wearing a USC singlet. Achieving this historical NCAA landmark is undoubtedly very significant. However, if Frech is the first above-the-knee paralympic athlete to get into a D1 team, who will he compete against?
