Some of the top high school seniors are earning one of the top accolades in boys’ volleyball.
A nationwide voting committee selected 20 players to the 2021 AVCA Boys’ High School Senior All-America Team that was unveiled Tuesday.
This annual honor is the nation’s only high school All-American team for boys’ volleyball. Players eligible for the team had to be a senior and their head coach needed to be a member of the AVCA.
UC San Diego leads all schools with three incoming recruits making the All-American Team. In addition, 13 NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball teams each had one player receive All-American accolades.
The NCAA Division III powerhouse Springfield also had a high school All-American recruit.
