MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Head Men's Tennis Coach Jimmy Borendame announced the addition of Sean Presson to Middle Tennessee Men's Tennis on Thursday. The Knoxville native will join the Blue Raiders following a stellar junior tennis career where he ranked as a four-star recruit and the top ranked player in the state of Tennessee.
Presson played at the Tennessee Tennis Club & Academy when he won the Tennessee State Qualifying Championships in Chattanooga without dropping a set in the five tournament matches. Last February, he placed third at the Icy Hot USTA Southern Level 2 Championships in Rome, Ga.
This past summer, Presson made it all the way to the finals of the USTA Southern Closed BG 18 Championship by winning six consecutive matches.
"Sean joining our program is very exciting," said Borendame. "Sean has been the top player in the state of Tennessee the past two years in juniors. He moves well, his game has a very high ceiling, and he is a strong student in the classroom, making him a great fit for us. We look forward to working with him on a daily basis."
Presson joins the Blue Raiders as the first Tennessee recruit since 2016 and joins Bradley Buckland in the 2019 class.
