Iowa Players Commit to Play College Tennis

Congratulations to Iowa junior players in the Class of 2021 who have signed to play tennis at the next level!  Here's the story of Will Blevins  -  who has signed to play college tennis at Drake University. 

Will Blevins has been playing tennis since he was in kindergarten. He actually picked up the sport after playing Nintendo Wii tennis and has never looked back. 

“If it wasn’t for that game I wouldn’t have picked up a racquet,” he said. “When I started going to summer tennis camps I liked the environment the coaches would bring to practice and I think that is what kept me interested in it for all these years.”

Fast forward twelve years later and he’s about to start his last season of high school tennis for Ankeny’s Centennial High School, then he’ll head up the road and play at Drake University in the fall. 

“My number one goal for the end of my high school career is to win a state title,” he said. “After last year being canceled due to Covid I have trained very hard to go out and win the championship.”
