Trevor Gotkowski joined the Bulldogs as an assistant coach in the summer of 2024 and comes to Starkville after spending two seasons at The Citadel, where he served as associate coach. “We’re thrilled to add Trevor to our staff,” said head coach Matt Roberts. “When we had the opportunity to add a third coach, we chose to take our time and find the right candidate and Trevor checked all the boxes we had. He brings a ton of energy and expertise. We look forward to him working with our guys when they get back in the fall and continuing to build our program for the future.” During his time at The Citadel, he helped lead the Bulldogs to 18 victories - eight of which were shutouts - and competed in the inaugural NIT Championships in 2023. He assisted in the development of Sebastian Kamieniecki and Hayden Shoemake into All-Southern Conference performers in each of his seasons in Spartanburg. “I feel extremely blessed to have this opportunity to work for not only this great program but a great university,” Gotkowski said. “To be able to work with and learn from easily two of the best coaches in college tennis, Matt and Jake, is something I will not take for granted. I hope to be able to help push Mississippi State tennis to the next level and to continue to compete and excel at the highest national level. My family and I can't wait to make Starkville our home.” Prior to becoming a college coach, Gotkowski worked as a tennis professional and golf shop manager at the Kiawah Island Golf
