A nationwide voting committee selected 14 players to the annual Off the Block Freshman All-America Team that was unveiled Tuesday.
The Off the Block Freshman All-America Team honors the top NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball freshmen players from the regular season. This is the 11th year Off the Block has presented the national honor, which remains the only Freshman All-American Team presented in college men’s volleyball.
Players eligible for this award must have been listed as a freshman or redshirt freshman on the active roster for a NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball team.
A voting committee of more than 30 men’s volleyball coaches and volleyball media members determined the Freshman All-American Team. A player making the Freshman All-America Team had to be among the top vote-getters and appear on at least one-fourth of all the fully submitted voting ballots.
