WEST ORANGE, NJ — West Orange High School senior and tennis phenom Justin Cadeau has signed a National Letter of Intent with Howard University in accepting a Division 1 scholarship.

“It’s been a life-long dream of mine to play Division 1 tennis, so I am very excited,” Cadeau said. “It is extra exciting to represent a prestigious university like Howard.”

Cadeau has played tennis for much of his young life and played for the United States Tennis Association (USTA). He has been a four-star recipient for years and had an undefeated 2019 season with the WOHS boys tennis team this past spring.

In addition to playing tennis, Cadeau plans to major in political science at Howard and become a lawyer.
