A University of South Dakota student-athlete has grabbed the attention of the popular NBC series The Voice as the show prepares for its upcoming season. Like any other college athlete, USD Junior Griffin Wolner has a lot going on in and out of the classroom. When Wolner isn't working on his medical biology major and minor in psychology, he can be found in the swimming pool competing for the Yotes' swim team. In addition to Wolner's passions for school and sports, he also loves music. In fact, Griffin recently auditioned for The Voice. According to the USD student newspaper The Volante, the Minnesota native auditioned and received a callback a few months ago from the popular singing competition. Griffin never seriously thought about trying out until one of his friends encouraged him to share his talents with the world. "My friend Payton Ryz was one of the first people who suggested in auditioning for The Voice, she always has such a high and exciting energy and really pushed me to do it,” Wolner shared with The Volante.
