Penn State and UCLA led all teams having three recruits who were named high school All-Americans.
Nittany Lions coach Mark Pavlik had two of his incoming players earn First-Team All-American honors and one player make the Second-Team All-American. In addition, recently retired Hall of Fame coach Al Scates in his final UCLA recruiting class had one recruit selected to the first-team and two players receive second-team honrs.
Along with Penn State and UCLA, eight other Division I-II men’s volleyball teams had at least one incoming recruit make this All-American list.
UC Santa Barbara, USC and Cal State Nrothridge each had two incoming freshmen named All-Americans. Ohio State, Stanford, Loyola, Lewis and Pacific each had one recruit selected as an All-American.
Two Division III schools — Nazareth College and UC Santa Cruz — also each had one of their incoming recruits receive All-American honors.
This is the sixth year of the boys’ volleyball AVCA High School Senior All-American teams. To be eligible for this All-American team a boys’ volleyball player must be a senior and his high school head coach must be an AVCA member.
