In order to be eligible for the All-American honors, a student/athlete must maintain an above-average academic record, compete on a high school tennis team, and be highly ranked in the USTA juniors. Nominees are considered in the following order: high-ranked seniors, top-ranked underclassmen and state champions. The honorees are then selected by eight of the most highly respected high school tennis coaches in the country. Kotzen currently has a UTR of 13.08 and is committed to play at Columbia University in the fall.
