Coats is majoring in business management and holds a 3.85 GPA. He made the jump to the No. 3 singles slot for Denver in 2026 after only playing part of his freshman season at No. 6. A 2026 All-Summit League selection, the sophomore from Leicester, England, led the roster with 30 singles wins in 2025-26 and added 20 more doubles victories. He was a perfect 5-0 in singles and 3-0 in doubles in Summit League play.
 
Robb-Wilcox is working toward his master's degree in marketing with a 3.97 GPA. He joined his doubles partner Coats on the All-Summit League Team, going 24-9 in singles and 20-7 in doubles overall. In what was his second year at Denver, the graduate student from Salt Lake City was also 5-0 in singles and 3-0 in doubles against Summit League opponents.
 
Rovai is studying finance and holds a 3.97 GPA. A sophomore from Gothenburg, Sweden, he also made a jump up DU's singles lineup and played the majority of the year at No. 2 while also playing at No. 1 five times. He finished with a 20-6 overall singles record and added 16 more wins in doubles. In Summit League play, he held perfect 5-0 records across both singles and doubles.
