The University of Hawai'i men's volleyball team has a finalist for seven of the 11 NCAA Division I-II national awards presented by Off the Block. 
 
A nationwide voting committee of more than 25 college coaches and volleyball media determined the finalists and the winners for each award. The top-three vote-getters were named finalists, while the individual receiving the most votes will be named the award winner. The winners will be announced next Wednesday.

Opposite Rado Parapunov, middle blocker Patrick Gasman, and libero Gage Worsley are finalists for two awards each while setter Jakob Thelle and outside hitter Colton Cowell are finalists for one award.
 
Parapunov, the two-time Big West Conference Player of the Year, is seeking his third straight Nicolas Szerszen Award as the nation's best non-U.S. born player. The Sofia, Bulgaria native was also the recipient of the 2019 Bryan Ivie Award, given to the nation's best opposite. Parapunov was runner-up in 2020.
 
Gasman is a finalist for both the Ryan Millar Award, presented to the nation's best middle attacker, and National Blocker of the Year.

Worsley is a finalist for both the Erik Shoji Award (nation's best libero) and Steve Shondell Award (nation's best passer).
