TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama men's tennis team added three signees to the Class of 2025, head coach George Husack announced Friday. Matic Kriznik, Vit Kalina and Brendan Loh will join a strong group of returners next season.
From Head Coach George Husack
"Matic, Vit and Brendan are outstanding additions to our program. Ezequiel (Gils), Sebastian (Vile) and I spent a considerable amount of time getting to know each guy and their personalities on and off the court. They are determined, curious, honest and have tremendous character. Each expressed a lot of interest to learn more about us and our support staff as coaches, our players as teammates, our program as an opportunity and our university as the best fit for their pursuit as high-level student-athletes and members of this incredible campus community. The three of them will fill some big shoes as our senior class has pushed our program forward to new levels of success. We're extremely grateful and excited about their commitment to Alabama, and in turn, our opportunity to work with and learn from each of them."
