"It's always nice to see a Texas player get to come back home. Calon is a good left-handed player as well as a doubles player. He is going to contribute to our success in the future and we are really excited to have a quality player on our team who grew up in the state. We had the opportunity to watch his progress as a junior and we are happy to have a guy of his caliber in Aggieland.
