Isaac Seltzer was named the GSAC Men's Volleyball Player of the Year, joining four other Mustangs on the 2026 All-GSAC list.

Joining Seltzer on the All-GSAC list are Matthew Hamm, Trace Oswald, Preston Schmidt and Ezra Vlad.

"I'm proud of the work the guys have put in so far," said TMU Head Coach Jared Goldberg. "There's still work to be done, but great to get some recognition right now."

The senior Seltzer had his best year with The Master's in 2026. He has so far collected a career-high 286 kills (No. 1 in the conference at 4.6 kills per set), hit .443 (third in conference), and was second in the GSAC to his teammate Oswald in service aces (29). It is Seltzer's third All-GSAC honor.

Hamm was by far the conference's best setter, averaging 11.31 assists per set (nearly two more than his nearest competitor). His 701 assists on the season is his career best and the third-best season total in program history. He is on track to set the single-season team record. He was a 4-time GSAC Setter of the Week in 2026 and a 2-time NAIA weekly award winner. It is his second all-conference selection.

Oswald backed up his Freshman of the Year award last season with an even better sophomore campaign. His 228 kills was second only to Seltzer on the team and ranked him fifth in the conference (3.45/set). His 39 aces placed him No. 1 in the GSAC.

Preston Schmidt got his third All-GSAC honor in as many seasons. The junior libero has 177 digs so far in 2026, a career-high 2.68 per set, which ranks him third in the conference. The team's all-time digs leader with over 600 in his three years, Schmidt only committed eight serve reception errors and added 13 aces.

First-time all-conference honoree Ezra Vlad had 35 blocks in 2026, part of a group that averaged nearly two blocks per set. His 106 kills ranked him third on the team and his .456 hitting percentage ranked him second with players who have more than 100 total attacks on the season.
