After attaining the status as one of the most coveted Juniors in the nation, JTCC High Performance player Kase Schinnerer has chosen the University of North Carolina as his next destination to pursue his athletic and academic dreams.

The blue-chip five-star recruit and #11 player in the Boys’ Class of 2025, Schinnerer elected to join the Tarheels after being courted by several other schools.

“It’s a nice feeling to get rid of the stress of being recruited, and it’s just a good feeling knowing I made my decision, and I’m very excited,” stated Schinnererer. “You say the name “UNC” and everyone knows what it represents. The combination of athletics and academics was everything I was looking for, and Chapel Hill is beautiful. I really love the coaching staff and the guys on the team. It was the perfect fit for me.”

In March, Schinnerer initially verbally committed to the University of Florida, but after internal changes at the school, including two coaches and four players leaving, he “de-committed” and reopened the recruitment process.

Kase and his brother Erik joined JTCC in January 2023 after training at the Gomez Tennis Academy in Florida for two years. Schinnerer quickly ascended to being ranked as one of the top players in the nation, culminating in a current ITF World Junior ranking of #57.

Now entering a new chapter in his life, Schinnerer describes what he is looking forward to experiencing.

“I’m excited to be by myself, live by myself, live with teammates, be an adult, compete, and represent my school,” declared Schinnerer. “JTCC will always be my training base, and I have no doubt I’ll be back. This is a new experience, new chapter for me, and I believe JTCC has set me up for that.”
