STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State's men's tennis team is proud to announce the addition of new assistant coach Dane Webb, who joins the staff of recently hired head coach, Dustin Taylor.

"Dane is one of the most sought-after young coaches in the world and we couldn't be more excited to have him joining our staff here in Stillwater. Dane comes to us after an outstanding playing career followed by a five-year run at the Lakes Tennis Academy, where he got to work alongside his childhood coach and mentor, Dave Licker, one of the most highly respected coaches in our country," Taylor said.

"During my time at U.S. Tennis, Dane was one of our favorite Collegiate National Team players. During his time at Oklahoma, he proved to be one of the greatest leaders collegiate tennis has seen in the last decade."

A native of Richardson, Texas, Webb comes to Stillwater after overseeing the high-performance program at Lakes Tennis Academy in Frisco, Texas for the last five years. There, Webb helped produce numerous national and international champions, along with a Junior Wimbledon doubles champion in 2019. On top of that, he worked with ATP player, Mitchell Krueger, and WTA Player, Gabriella Talaba during their training weeks in Frisco.

During his collegiate career at the University of Oklahoma, Webb was a three-time All-American, 2015 National Arthur Ashe Leadership Award winner, and the most decorated Sooner in program history, with a total of 212 victories during his time in Norman. He served as the team captain for their NCAA runner-up teams in 2014 and 2015, while also leading them to three Big 12 regular-season titles, along with three Big 12 tournament titles.

Webb also captained the Sooners to their first ITA National Team Championship in 2015, going 3-0 in singles and 2-0 in doubles, leading the way on the All-Tournament Team.
His best result in the NCAA Individual championship came as a freshman in 2012, where he reached the semifinals of the doubles event, partnering with Costin Paval. That same season, he was named the ITA Rookie of the Year.

In the classroom, Webb was twice named an Academic All-Big 12 first-team selection and was tabbed as a second-team pick his senior season. Webb graduated with a degree in administrative leadership from OU.
