Virginia Tech Snags 2027 Verbal From Turkish Standout Alisa Enercan
NEW COMMIT: Virginia Tech has secured a verbal commitment for the 2027-28 season and beyond from Alisa Enercan of Istanbul, Turkey. Enercan excels in mid-distance freestyle and butterfly.
Regarding her commitment, she said:
“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Virginia Tech! I’d like to sincerely thank Coach Mason, Coach Sergio, and the entire Virginia Tech coaching staff for believing in me and providing me with this incredible opportunity. I am honored to become part of the Hokie family and cannot wait to begin this new chapter. I’d like to thank my family & friends for their endless support throughout this journey. I am also deeply grateful to my coaches, Boran Erdugan, Gjon Shyti, and Psk. Cansu Buket Tokat, for their guidance, encouragement, and dedication to helping me grow both as an athlete and as a person. I am excited for what the future holds and for the goals we will achieve at Virginia Tech. Stay tuned for the next chapter. “Better Today, Better Tomorrow.” Go Hokies!”
Enercan trains year-round with Enka Spor Kulübü. She earned three best times at the Türkiye Sportif Kulüpler Genç ve Açık Yaş Şampiyonası in December. She finished third in the 200m fly at the Turkish Selection Meet in May 2025.
In LCM, her best times include:
- 200m free – 2:03.28
- 400m free – 4:19.29
- 200m fly – 2:11.95
In SCY, those times convert to:
- 200 free – 1:48.18
- 500 free – 4:50.52
- 200 fly – 1:56.35
The Hokies finished ninth at the 2026 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships. Enercan’s best time in the 200 fly (converted to yards) is already fast enough to score in the B-final at the conference meet.
