This new national award recognizes the top NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball of African descent. The award is selected by a nationwide voting committee of college men’s volleyball coaches and media members.
A voter can select up to three players on their ballot for this award with a first-place vote worth three points, a second-place vote worth two points and a third-place vote valued at one point. The top three vote-getters are named finalists, and the player receiving the most votes is the recipient of the award.
