Benjamin Kadid Commits to East Central College

A Commitment Guided by Long-Term Vision

Teranga Sports Agency is proud to announce the commitment of Benjamin Kadid to East Central Community College in Mississippi, where he will join the men’s tennis program starting in the Spring 2026.

This commitment reflects a carefully planned, long-term decision guided by Teranga Sports Agency’s international recruitment and athlete management philosophy. While Benjamin attracted interest from NCAA Division I programs, he chose a pathway designed for sustainable growth. As an international athlete, selecting the right environment to develop academically, athletically, and personally is essential, and this decision aligns fully with that vision.

Adapting to the American College System

By committing to East Central Community College, Benjamin is entering a setting that allows for a complete transition into the American college system. This stage will enable him to improve his English through full immersion, adapt to life in the United States, and build strong academic and cultural foundations. These elements are critical for international student-athletes aiming to succeed long term in the U.S.

A Development-Focused Competitive Pathway

From a competitive standpoint, the junior college level provides Benjamin with consistent match play and the opportunity to raise his UTR in a demanding environment. This approach allows him to develop confidence, physical resilience, and leadership while preparing for a future big-time transfer. 

Benjamin has approached this commitment with seriousness and discipline, preparing extensively for the demands of American college tennis. His commitment to improvement and performance reflects the mindset required to succeed in a long-term international pathway.

Teranga Sports Agency’s Long-Term Athlete Management Model

This journey is a clear example of how Teranga Sports Agency operates more than placement services. The agency works with athletes guiding them through key phases of their careers, from international recruitment and college placement to development strategy and progression planning. As college athletics continues to evolve, we are actively expanding support into areas such as NIL opportunities and athlete brand building. 

East Central Community College represents an important step in Benjamin's journey. With the right environment, a clear plan, and continuous support, this chapter serves as a solid foundation.
