"Kyle is returning this season more mature and with more experience after his first healthy season of play as a sophomore. His style of play and natural instincts give him the ability to win any match he plays, while his toughness helps him fight for every match. He can change the momentum of a match in a matter of seconds, which is impressive at this level. He has the game to be playing high in the lineup in singles and doubles this year, helping to lead the team. He has improved every season and this year will prove to be the same." - CofC Head Coach Jay Bruner
