Horned Frogs land three top-15 American recruits
FORT WORTH – The future of Horned Frog tennis has never been better, as the Horned Frogs officially inked the nation's No. 1 ranked USA recruiting class.
TCU and head coach David Roditi announced the signings of Jagger Leach, Cooper Woestendick and Maximus Dussault during the early signing period.
They are three of the top-15 American players in the Tennis Recruiting Network rankings for the class of 2025. Leach is the nation's No. 1 overall college prospect, Woestendick is ranked fourth and Dussault is No. 13.
"We couldn't be more excited about the class that we're welcoming at TCU for 2025," Roditi said. "Three top Americans – the No. 1 American in the country in Jagger Leach, Cooper coming in at No. 4 and Maximus at No. 13. So proud of this class. There's a lot of work to be done, and for them to trust us to develop their games, they couldn't be more serious about tennis. It's all about their development. And then with who we're getting as human beings, we couldn't be more excited and can't wait for our fans to come watch these guys. The future of our program couldn't be any brighter."
Their signings mark the first time TCU has ever netted three ITF top-100 world juniors in the same year. Leach and Woestendick are ranked 19th and 20th and are the second and third highest-rated Americans.
Jagger Leach | Sarasota, Fla.
Leach is tennis royalty. He is the son of Lindsay Davenport, a three-time Grand Slam singles champion and former WTA world No. 1. Leach's father, Jon, was an All-American at USC. His uncle, Rick Leach, is a former No. 1 in the ATP doubles rankings and five-time Grand Slam doubles champion.
The 2024 season saw Leach follow in his mother and uncle's footsteps. Leach competed at all four Grand Slam boys' singles championships. He was a quarterfinalist at The Championships, Wimbledon 2024 and reached the round of 32 at the Australian Open and US Open.
Leach has won eight ITF juniors titles since 2023, including the J300 Kuching and J200 Kuala Lumpur this summer. He holds a juniors singles record of 38-15.
The Florida resident signed with TCU over finalists Texas, USC, Georgia and Ohio State.
Cooper Woestendick | Olathe, Kan.
Woestendick cemented his status as blue chip talent in January, when he won the 2024 Australian Open boys doubles championship.
He notched his first pro singles title three months later. Woestendick claimed the crown at the M15 Vero Beach, which is widely regarded as the highest-attended futures event in the world.
Like Leach, Woestendick played on the junior side of the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open this season. He also had the opportunity to play in the qualifying rounds for the Indian Wells Masters 1000 in March. Woestendick received a wild card after winning the inaugural International Junior Championships singles in 2023.
Woestendick bears 13 ITF juniors titles to his name. Eleven of his juniors championships are in doubles, including this summer's J500 Milan.
He was a doubles semifinalist at Wimbledon and reached the quarterfinals at both the US Open and French Open.
Woestendick was born in Topeka, Kan., before relocating to Olathe with his parents at age four. He presently lives and trains at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Fla., while taking online classes.
Maximus Dussault | Stuart, Fla.
Dussault has won six ITF juniors titles and sports a career-high world junior ranking of No. 83.
A left-handed player, Dussault positioned himself for a memorable 2023 season by winning the Boys 16U USTA Winter Nationals singles championship in January. He then notched his first juniors singles title at the J60 Santo Domingo. He also triumphed in doubles in the event and capped the season with two more doubles triumphs in the J100 Santo Domingo and J200 Veracruz.
Dussault, who goes by "Deacon," received his first Grand Slam taste in August, when he played qualifying singles at the US Open Junior Championships.
He has won 33 ITF juniors singles matches over the last two seasons.
