Nikolov

Despite being a freshman, Alex Nikolov was the best player for Long Beach State from the start of last season. For that matter, it was pretty evident the 2.05m Bulgarian was the best player in the men’s college game.

After topping Long Beach in kills (second in the nation with 468, 4.63/set, while hitting .386) and aces, he was named the AVCA national player of the year. He’s the first freshman to win the award.
