SAN ANTONIO — St. Mary's University Director of Tennis
Bill Macom is excited to announce the signing class Men's Tennis for the 2025-26 season.
Macom has added six men's student-athletes, a mixture of five incoming freshmen and one college transfer. Four are Americans and two are international students, while three of the six are listed at 6 feet, 5 inches on their student-athlete questionnaires.
"I think all of these guys are going to make our practices more competitive on a daily basis and will help build a stronger team culture," Macom said. "I am looking forward to seeing them bring our program up another notch."
All six will begin competing for the Rattlers in the Fall, 2025 semester.
