MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State men's tennis long-time head coach Bill Richards announced the signing of Nathaniel Webster (Kalamazoo, Mich./Mattawan High School) to a national letter of intent during the early signing period, which opened Nov. 11.
"I couldn't be more excited to have Nathaniel join our program," Richards said. "He is an outstanding player and student. His results and rankings speak for themselves. What he has done in high school tennis, as well as at USTA (United States Tennis Association) national and sectional tournaments, is very impressive. He will definitely make an impact his freshman year. I'm looking forward to coaching him and having him as a part of our program."
Webster, a four-year letterwinner at Mattawan High School, comes to Ball State with an impressive tennis resume. He is currently ranked 80th in the nation as a senior and third in the state of Michigan, according to Tennisrecruiting.net.
As a four-star recruit, Webster is the 2019 and 2020 Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) Class 2 state champion. He is among the most decorated players in Mattawan history and the first to win consecutive Class 2 titles since 2013. Webster has won 48 consecutive matches dating back to the fall of 2018, which ranks seventh in MHSAA history, all without dropping a set.
