A Revolution in College Tennis Recruitment
Recruited was founded by Ivan Yatsuk, Tony Muniz, and Bruno Oliveira in 2023 with the mission of helping high school players worldwide secure spots at their dream colleges.
In 2024, Henrique Pereira joined as CTO to lead our technology efforts, bringing innovative solutions to democratize college sports recruitment.
For the founders of Recruited, tennis is more than just a sport—it's a pathway to transforming lives.

Breaking Down Barriers
The Recruited platform was built to democratize college sports. For too long, the recruitment process has been opaque, complicated, and accessible only to those with insider connections. We're changing that. By harnessing the power of data analytics and artificial intelligence, we're creating a transparent, accessible ecosystem where talent meets opportunity—regardless of background or resources.
Connecting Every Stakeholder
Our platform provides coaches, players, parents, and agents with powerful tools to connect and explore programs across the United States. Whether you're a high school athlete in Brazil searching for your perfect college match, a parent navigating the recruiting process for the first time, or a coach looking for the next star player, Recruited gives you the data, insights, and connections you need to succeed.
Relentless Improvement
We are continuously working hard to improve the platform and the data available. Our commitment to excellence means we're constantly adding new features, refining our algorithms, expanding our database, and listening to feedback from our community. Every day, we're making it easier, faster, and more effective for student-athletes to find their dream schools and for coaches to discover exceptional talent. This isn't just a platform—it's a movement to transform college sports recruitment for generations to come.
The People Behind Recruited
Former collegiate athletes who lived the recruiting journey and are now dedicated to making it better for everyone
Ivan Yatsuk
Moving early from Minsk, Belarus, I started playing tennis at just 5 years old under my dad's coaching. Despite early success earning 2 ATP points, navigating the college recruiting process was a challenge until meeting Coach Ashley Fisher from USF. I am the Chief Executive Officer.
Antonio Muniz-Hidalgo
Originally from Barcelona, Spain, my personal journey through collegiate tennis, including transferring schools, inspired me to co-found Recruited with Ivan at 23. I graduated with honors in finance from SMU and played for Georgia Southern, USF, and SMU respectively. I also held an ATP ranking for over 4 years.
Bruno Oliveira
Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, I'm using college tennis in the US as a tool to achieve my dream of going into pro tennis. I am currently ATP ranked. At 22, I'll soon graduate from the University of South Florida after transferring from the University of South Carolina.
Henrique Pereira
Originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, I relocated to the United States in 2012 to compete in Division 1 tennis. With a high UTR of 12 and over five years of experience as a software engineer. I merge my passion for tennis with innovative technology to develop digital solutions that effectively connect players and coaches.
