A native of Dallas, Texas and former four-star recruit, Quinn is tied with sophomore Gavin Stewart for most singles victories on the team at 15. Eleven of Quinn's wins have come at No. 6 singles. Quinn has also been a part of 12 doubles victories, including 11 with junior Noah Nawabi.

Quinn's 15 singles victories are tied for 10^th most in program history since 2000, while his 12 doubles wins are tied for 17^th.

From Feb. 24 to March 10, Quinn won seven straight singles matchups, including five in straight sets. Since Feb. 24, he is 10-4, including two SoCon victories.

Quinn and Nawabi rattled off four straight doubles victories at No. 3 doubles from Feb. 1 to Feb. 3. The duo also won back-to-back matches two other times, and went 4-1 from March 9 – 16.

Quinn is joined on the team by UNC Greensboro's Hugh Knapp, Mercer's David Geordgaze, Chattanooga's Kerim Hyatt and Tomas Rodriguez, and Wofford's Bryce Keim.
