Professional

Wit began his professional career with the Baltimore Comets of the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 1974. He spent the 1974 and 1975 seasons with the Comets, then moved with the team when it left Baltimore to become the San Diego Jaws. Wit began the 1976 season in San Diego, but was traded to the Tampa Bay Rowdies after fourteen games. He finished the 1976 season in Tampa Bay, then played all of 1977 there before moving back north to the New England Tea Men for the 1978 season. The Tea Men moved to Jacksonville before the 1981 season. Wit moved with the team and played the 1981 and 1982 seasons in Jacksonville.

National team

Wit earned four caps with the U.S. national team. His first game came in a scoreless tie with Mexico on October 3, 1976. This game was the second U.S. qualification game for the 1978 FIFA World Cup. Wit’s second game with the national team did not go so well as the U.S. fell 3-0 to Mexico twelve days later. He played one more game in 1976, a scoreless tie with Haiti on November 10. His last game with the national team came in a 3-1 loss to the Soviet Union on February 3, 1979. In that game, Wit was a second half substitute for Gary Etherington.[1]

Wit is now a toy sales manager in Jacksonville, Florida.[2]
