BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University men's tennis team is riding an eight-match winning streak and just picked up another big win with the signing of Mississippi State transfer Alberto Colas.
The junior currently holds a 7-7 overall record and a 2-2 dual match record. He entered the 2021-22 season with a career collegiate record of 32-22, a dual match record of 21-13 and an SEC record of 7-7. He will come to FAU after building both a singles and doubles resume that saw him climb to a No. 92 national ranking (9/7/21) in singles and No. 47 nationally in doubles (1/13/21). He has twice earned SEC recognition being named SEC Freshman of the Week (3/11/20) and SEC Co-Newcomer of the Week (2/24/21).
His career highlights include being named Spain's U18 Champion, holding an ITF Junior Ranking of No. 79, and his best ATP Singles Ranking stands at 917. Colas' UTR is 12.8.
The Owls will continue their 2022 Conference USA championship quest and will welcome Colas to the courts for the 2022-23 season.
"I am beyond excited to welcome Alberto to our FAU Family," said Gonzalez. "I met him for the first time when he was in high school. Not only was I impressed by his tennis game, but mainly him as a person and his character. He fits right in with our team and what we stand for as a program. We really take pride in protecting our culture. Alberto will do big things at FAU and I'm excited to be a small part of his development as a tennis player and as a person. Go Owls!"
