After initially considering SMU, Virginia Tech, Tulane, George Washington, Army and Navy Krall had narrowed his options down to SMU and Virginia Tech.

Krall devised a pro/con list on the drive home from Blacksburg, Virginia once he visited Virginia Tech.

“I really liked both schools, so it was a hard decision to make,” Krall said. “I reached out to people who knew each school and most of them were recommending SMU for me. In the end, I really felt like that was the best option.”

Krall officially committed to SMU by calling head coach Grant Chen to deliver the news.

“I really like Dallas. It is a great city. I come from a small town, so I really like the school size. I was not looking for a huge school and SMU is really a very small school,” Krall said. “Grant is a great coach and connection to have for tennis. His work over the years has proven that, so I am really happy to be a part of this team.”
