It was the perfect storm for junior tennis player Tyler Stayer in his unexpected journey to becoming a member of the Baylor men’s tennis team.
Just months ago, Stayer was a member of the club tennis team. Now Stayer finds himself in the thick of a tightly contested Big 12 regular season.
With injuries and ineligibilities plaguing the Baylor men’s tennis team this season, the Bears’ coaching staff was left with no choice but to scout the Baylor club tennis team for reserves.
When Stayer got the call from the varsity team, the decision whether to accept the offer was a no-brainer, he said.
