The Fresno State men’s tennis team will face a familiar foe in the NCAA 64-team tournament bracket, which begins play on Friday, May 13.

During Greg Gonzalez’s senior season at Capuchino High School, the right-handed pitcher didn’t even possess the best arm on the team.

Although Fresno State does not have a top tier prospect in this year’s NFL draft like last year when running back Ryan Mathews was taken in the first round by the San Diego Chargers, Bulldogs head coach Pat Hill said that Chris Carter and Andrew Jackson are the players most likely to be selected.

Not being selected in the NFL draft does not decrease a player’s chances of making an NFL roster.

During Saturday’s final spring scrimmage, the Fresno State defense surrendered multiple touchdowns through the air and gave up a few big runs; however, when the situation was elevated and when it mattered most, the defense rose the occasion.

Last season, the Fresno State men’s basketball team allowed 67.4 points per game which ranks in the middle of the pack in the Western Athletic Conference and 156 among Division I schools.

Former sack-specialist Chris Carter might be taking his talents to the NFL, but his work ethic has rubbed off on former teammates on the defensive line.

Fresno State knows the dangers of a baseball making contact with a pitcher all too well.

While Steve Cleveland may have not done very well on the court — compiling a 92-98 record during his six years as Fresno State’s head coach — he did deliver on his promise to improve performance in the classroom.
