The Mountaineers men's volleyball program has announced three new additions for the 2021-2022 season and the trio are the first recruits under new head coach, Brad McClure.
Colin Prins, Oliver Sant and Ethan May will all enter Mohawk College as true freshman and will provide some youth to a team that will still return four players from their last season in 2019-2020.

"I'm extremely excited for these athletes to join our program. We feel that we have added athletes high on character, compete and coachability ahead of the 2021-2022 season and that each of these recruits have high upside," says McClure, the 15th head coach in men's volleyball program history. "I am really excited to work with them in the gym and see how their careers progress at the post-secondary level."
