Bobby Reynolds Named Head Coach at Auburn

NORMAN – University of Oklahoma men's tennis assistant coach Bobby Reynolds was named the head coach at Auburn University Friday evening.

“I'd like to thank Jay Jacobs (Director of Athletics), Bernard Hill (Senior Associate Athletics Director) and everyone at Auburn for giving me this opportunity to be a head coach, close to my home in Atlanta and back in the SEC where I played,” Reynolds said. “I also want to thank John Roddick and the University of Oklahoma for giving me the chance to fulfill a dream and get back into college tennis from the coaching side.”

Reynolds spent one year with the Sooners. In 2016 he helped guide to the No. 11 overall seed at the NCAA Championships. The Sooners won five matches in the tournament, upsetting Wake Forest, UCLA and Georgia to advance to the national final for the third year in a row.

Reynolds spent 12 years as a playing professional before retiring in 2014 and entering the coaching ranks with Oklahoma. An Atlanta, Ga., native, Reynolds played his collegiate tennis at Vanderbilt, where he became the most decorated player in program history. Reynolds replaces Eric Shore, who retired after 26 years as the head coach for the Tigers.
