BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M men's tennis head coach Steve Denton announced former UTSA standout Alan Magadan has joined the roster for the upcoming spring.

Last season, he posted doubles wins in dual match play against tandems from Texas, Oklahoma and Oregon.

"I'm very excited of the news that Alan has officially joined us and will be competing for the Aggies this spring," Denton said. "Thanks to our staff for working so hard to make this happen. Alan brings a lot of experience in singles and doubles and will make an immediate impact on our team."
