The boys high school volleyball season continues to shine in 2024, headlined by the best of the best in the Super 25 rankings.
Now, it’s time to turn some of the spotlight on the individual athletes who are spiking, digging, blocking and turning heads on the volleyball court.
In August, the USA TODAY High School Sports Awards will showcase top athletes from across the U.S., and part of that storied recognition will focus on the talented boys volleyball athletes, which includes this impressive group who have landed on the 2024 watchlist for the HSSA Boys Volleyball Player of the Year (so far).
