TUSCALOOSA, Ala.- Donald “Trey” Walston, a senior from Mountain Brook High School in Birmingham, has announced his commitment to play tennis for the University of Alabama.
“Trey is a great addition to our squad for the 2007-2008 year,” stated head coach Billy Pate. “Clearly, he’s one of, if not the top player in the state for his age division as well as one of the top players in the South throughout his junior career. He is very committed to being a top collegiate player and has the potential to have a very aggressive game style as he continues to develop physically. He carries himself well on the court and offers the type of character we are looking for in our program.”
Ranked as the top junior player in Alabama, Walston finished in the top 20 in the South in every age division as well as represented Alabama in the Davis Cup for five years. In addition, Walston represented the Southern section of the United States for five years at the U.S. Zonals and played for two years at USTA National Boys Championships in Kalamazoo, Mich. In high school, Walston won an individual state title as a 9th grader and helped Mountain Brook to a 6A team state championship.
“Playing for Alabama has been a lifelong dream,” said Walston. “I wanted to play for coach Pate and coach Nickell and I like all the players on the team. My goal is to help Alabama win a SEC championship while I am here.”
