SVG strengthens: Cole Young brings a breath of fresh air into the middle!
A new star in the volleyball sky in Uelzen: Cole Young, a 22-year-old middle blocker from Ohio State University, will strengthen the SVG team from the 2025/26 season. With an imposing height of 2.09 meters, Young not only brings a physical presence onto the field, but has also made a name for himself with his outstanding blocking skills. “I’m really excited to be coming to SVG, especially after the great 2024/25 season,” said Young, enthusiastically about the move. Head coach Stefan Hübner is convinced of Young's qualities: "His blocking game is top and his calmness will be good for the team," said Hübner.
Young gained a lot of experience during his time at Ohio State University, where he played for three years with his former teammate Michael Wright. During this time, the duo proudly won two titles in the MIVA Conference and also took part in the NCAA tournament. His impressive performances also caught the attention of SVG middle blocker Blake Leeson, who encouraged Young to make the move into club volleyball. This success story makes you curious about the upcoming games!
The Achievements of Ohio State University
The Ohio State men's team, where Young most recently played, has established itself as a strong team. The team is currently in 13th place in the rankings and has a 3-3 record. Particularly noteworthy was the win against the previously top-placed team UCLA, which Ohio State won 3-1 in a thrilling match. With scores of 25-20, 26-24, 13-25 and 25-17, the team impressively shows that they can hold their own even against the biggest. Young himself celebrated this victory with his teammates, which not only raised morale but also demonstrated the team's potential.
However, there were also setbacks, such as the recent game against Stanford, in which Ohio State clearly lost 3-0. Despite the weaknesses in blocking and offensive performance, the team remains a serious opponent in the college league. “We have to keep working on our form,” summed up a visibly thoughtful coach after the defeat. But with Cole Young's return to SVG, the Uelzen team has growing potential.
