By Nick Whitley, Texas A&M Athletics Communications

MARIETTA, Ga. Texas A & M’s men’s tennis earned 11th place in the final spring recruitment class of 2021 earlier this week, as reported by the Tennis Recruiting Network.

One of the country’s leading signing courses, head coach Steve DentonThe staff welcomes a couple of advertised student-athlete pairs at Luke Casper and Giulio Perego. Both opportunities deserved TRN’s coveted blue chip distinction, the highest possible recruitment entry in men’s college tennis. Casper, a native of Santa Cruz, California, reached the top spot in the TRN junior player classes and booked the best 12.80 UTR of his career from the end of 2019. Perego originally native to Milan, Italy, but has spent recent seasons training in Naples, Florida. He achieved a high UTR of 12.90 in his career and placed as high as 5th in the TRN player classes.

“We are very happy with this coming freshman class members who will have an immediate impact on our team,” Denton said. “Giulio [Perego] has played several tournaments during the pandemic and will be very confident in these experiences. Luke [Casper] is a tough competitor as a high – class American junior player who knows what it takes to win big matches. I’m looking for both to succeed in big-time college tennis because we need these two to hit the ground. Every year we have one of the toughest schedules in the country that really tests young players. Being in the SEC and living in one of the most difficult areas in the state of Texas ensures that Texas A&M is one of the most interesting places in the country to play college tennis. “

Since A&M’s latest signing class, Maroon & White has signed recruiting 15 blue chips over the past 14 seasons under the leadership of Denton and his staff. In each of his signing classes, Aggies has received votes in the TRN poll and has consistently ranked the recruitment class among the top 15 nationally. Texas A&M will advance to the 2021-22 campaign after completing Season 19-9 and finishing in the NCAA Tournament National Semifinals.

In determining the best recruitment categories each year, the Tennis Recruiting Network reaches out to junior tennis experts, journalists and writers from across the nation by conducting the top 25 surveys. Each panelist submits a voting list in which 25 teams are arranged in order, with the first team earning 25 points, the No. 2 team earning 24 points, and so on.
