Nigeria’s Tennis Star Khadijat Mohammed Joins Texas A&M University-Kingsville

Posted : 14 May 2026

Khadijat Mohammed has officially moved to the United States to join the Texas A&M University-Kingsville tennis program. The Nigerian national number one will represent the Javelina tennis team in the NCAA Division II Lone Star Conference. This transition allows the talented athlete to combine high-level professional training with her university education in Texas.

Commonly referred to as "Mama" within the local tennis community, Mohammed has dominated the Nigerian circuit over the past two years. She entered 2026 as the undisputed top-ranked female player in the country after winning four major titles in 2025. Her recent victories include defending her crown at the Dala Hard Court Championship for a second consecutive season.

The move to Kingsville provides Mohammed with access to world-class coaching and modern sporting facilities. The Javelina women’s tennis team recently concluded a successful season, with players like Maya Donkor earning all-conference honors. Mohammed is expected to strengthen the squad's lineup as they prepare for the upcoming competitive collegiate schedule.

Nigerian tennis officials have praised the move as a vital step for her long-term professional development. The United States collegiate system has become a preferred pathway for many rising stars from the African continent. This route offers frequent competitive match play against diverse opponents while ensuring athletes secure a degree.

Mohammed’s arrival in Texas adds to the growing contingent of Nigerian tennis players making their mark in America. Fellow national standouts have previously utilized the scholarship system to transition from the junior ranks to professional circuits. Her presence in the Lone Star Conference is expected to raise the profile of Nigerian tennis on the international stage.
