The Ryan Millar Award is annually given to the nation’s best middle attacker in NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball during the regular season.
The award is named after the former U.S. Olympian and BYU All-American middle attacker Ryan Millar and 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 Ryan Millar Award ballot 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 middle attacker receiving the most votes is recipient of the Ryan Millar Award.
