LOS ANGELES โ Six members of the No. 1 UCLA men's volleyball team earned all-MPSF honors, the conference announced on Tuesday afternoon. UCLA had four student-athletes earn All-MPSF first team honors, the most of any school, while senior setter Andrew Rowan was named MPSF Player of the Year.
Four Bruins earned first-team honors as Rowan was joined on the first team by Sean Kelly, Zach Rama, and Cameron Thorne. Two more Bruins earned second-team accolades as David Decker and Micah Wong Diallo picked up the first all-conference honors of their careers.
Rowan becomes UCLA's fourth MPSF Player of the Year in the last five years. Aย senior setter from Trabuco Canyon, California,ย Rowan is the nation's leader in assists per set (11.54), while setting the nation's No. 1 offense to a .385 team hitting percentage entering the postseason. The Bruins hit at least .300 in 23 of their 27 matches and over .400 in 13 matches, with Rowan setting the offense in 93 of UCLA's 96 sets in helping guide 10 top-10 wins and 19 ranked wins along the way. Rowan is one of three players in the country who served at least 50 aces in the regular season, and at the end of the regular season, became the 13th player in MPSF history to serve 170 in his career. During the season, he became the second Bruin in the rally scoring era (since 2001) to reach 4,000 career assists. A four-time first-team all-conference selection, Rowan is UCLA'sย first-ever four-time all-MPSF first team honoree.
Kelly, a sophomore outside hitter from Manhattan Beach, California, earns first-team honors after being named honorable mention all-conference during his freshman campaign in 2025. He has recorded a team-leading 334 kills across 94 sets played, and currently sits seventh nationally in hitting percentage at .407 heading into the postseason. ย Kelly recorded double-digit kills in 17 of UCLA's 28 matches, and led the team in kills in 12 matches. The sophomore tallied a career-high 22 kills in UCLA's five-set match at Pepperdine on April 2.
Rama, a senior outside hitter from Phoenix, Arizona, earns his second career first-team honors after earning a spot on the first team in 2025.

He recorded double-digit kills in 17 of UCLA's 28 matches, and finished with 20 or more kills on three occasions. Rama recorded a career-high 23 kills in UCLA's win over No. 6 Loyola Chicago at the First Point Collegiate Challenge, 21 kills at No. 2 Long Beach State, and 20 kills at No. 4 UC Irvine, and all three matches resulted in wins over teams ranked inside the top-6 nationally at the time the match was played.
Thorne, a senior middle blocker from Hollywood, Florida, earns his second career first-team honors after being named first team in 2025. He also earned second-team honors while playing at GCU in 2024. Elite on both offense and defense, Thorne currently leads the conference in hitting percentage at .509 heading into the postseason.
