Andy Jackson named Men's Head Tennis Coach of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville

Andy Jackson, newly hired head coach at Arkansas,  has 29 years of head coaching experience at Florida and Mississippi State and is the only coach to win an SEC Men's Tennis Title at two different schools. The Razorbacks are hoping to be the third school that Jackson guides to an SEC Title.

Jackson most recently served as the Men’s Head Coach at Florida from 2001-12, winning 209 matches, the third-highest total in school history, after inheriting a team that was 9-17 the year before he arrived. He led the Gators to conference titles in 2003 and 2005 and SEC Tournament crowns in 2003 and 2011 and was named SEC Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2005.

Expect some new additions to the team roster of Hall Fess, Jacob Herndon, Victor Hoang, Manfred Jeske, Christian Lee, Gregoire Lehmann, Santiago Munoz, Mike Nott, Jovan Parlic, Austin Robles, Pete Thomason, and Mike Ward.
