SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah men's tennis team announced the addition of Egbert "Eggy" Weverink for the 2015-2016 season.
"We are super excited to add Eggy to our young team," said head coach Roeland Brateanu, "Eggy is a big body, with an even bigger game and will bring a great deal of experience and maturity having played for a top-20 program in the nation. He's a born leader on and off the court and is a huge addition to our program."
Weverink hails from The Netherlands and graduated from Caland Lyceum Amsterdam High School in 2013. He attended Mississippi State University last year where he experienced a shoulder injury. After surgery and recovery, Weverink is excited to resume his collegiate tennis career with the Utes.
Weverink is a 6'-8" right-hander who had great success in juniors. He reached No. 3 in the junior rankings in the Netherlands. Weverink also ranked among the Netherlands top 100 for men's singles and doubles. During his freshman year at Mississippi State, he earned a 1-0 singles record and 2-2 doubles mark.
"I chose Utah because of the great connection with the coaches and players and the high level of competition. I feel really confident that this is the place to reach my maximum potential on and off the court," said Weverink, "I feel very honored to become a part of the Ute family. After facing a serious shoulder injury I am very thankful to get another opportunity to do what I love. I will give everything I have to help my team and I truly believe we can do great things together!"
Weverink made the Bulldog Honor Roll during his year at Mississippi State, and he plans to major in Business Administration on Entrepreneurship. He also strives to receive a Masters in Business Administration. He is the son of Mariet van den Berg and Dolf Weverink and he has a 19-year-old brother, Dobbe.
Weverink shares common ground with Brateanu as both grew up in the same neighborhoods of Amsterdam (Watergraafsmeer & Diemen), attended the same high school (Sint-Nicolaas Lyceum) and played at the same tennis club (Amstelpark for coach Kees Monteban.
