How ACP’s Strategy Took Luke Bishop to Division I Tennis
The perfect fit for every player.
When it comes to college tennis recruiting, finding the right fit takes more than talent — it takes strategy, experience, and relationships built over decades.
That’s exactly what helped ACP client Luke Bishop, an Oklahoma City player, earn his spot at Division I Texas Rio Grande Valley.
This wasn’t luck. It was strategy.
Luke and his family knew that navigating the recruiting process could be overwhelming. They turned to American College Placement and Matt Knoll for guidance — because when it comes to finding the right college fit, experience matters.
“Matt Knoll and ACP provided us with all the guidance we needed. We didn’t know what to do, and he was able to point us in the right direction.”

Luke’s story is one of many. ACP has helped players across the country find success at every level of college tennis — from top Division I programs to elite academic institutions and everything in between.
