The University of Hawai'i men's volleyball team has a finalist for five of the 11 NCAA Division I-II national awards presented by Off the Block.
 
A nationwide voting committee of about 20 college coaches and volleyball media determined the finalists and the winners. 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 Friday, May 6.
 
Setter Jakob Thelle is a finalist for three awards while middle blocker Guilherme Voss is a finalist for two. Last year, UH grabbed five awards with opposite Rado Parapunov and libero Gage Worsley each winning two.

For the second consecutive year, Thelle is one of three finalists for the Lloy Ball Award, presented to the nation's best setter. The Tonsberg, Norway native is also a finalist for the Nicolas Szerszen Award, which honors the nation's best non-U.S. born player, and the National Server of the Year Award. The junior is among the nation's leaders in both aces and assists per set while directing the nation's 5^th-best offense.
 
Voss is a first-time finalist for both the Ryan Millar Award, which is presented to the nation's best middle attacker, and the National Blocker of the Year Award. The Rio de Janeiro, Brazil native ranks No. 2 nationally in blocking (1.36) while his .487 hitting percentage would rank No. 4 nationally if he qualified.
 
Parapunov won the Szerszen Award for the past three years. The last UH setter to win the Ball Award was Joe Worsley in 2019. Patrick Gasman is the reining Millar Award recipient and won the National Blocker of the Year award in 2019. No Hawai'i player has ever won the National Server of the Year award.
