COLUMBUS, Ohio – Nicolas Szerszen, recognized as the best men's volleyball player in the history of the program, will join 13 others in the 2023 Class of inductees into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame this fall.
Named the national player of the year by multiple entities in 2016 (AVCA), 2017 (Volleyball Magazine) and 2018 (VolleyMob.com), Szerszen owns numerous Ohio State records.
The all-time leader in kills (1,678), points (2,030), aces (238), aces per set (.53) and total attempts (3,273), Szerszen was equally adept in the classroom. He was a four-time Ohio State Scholar Athlete (2015-18) and Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Academic All-Conference honoree (2015-18).
He also was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten award winner (2016-18) and a two-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar (2016, 2018).
His individual efforts on the court helped the Buckeyes to national titles in 2016 and 2017. The Buckeyes also won regular-season MIVA Titles in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and earned league tournament titles over the final three seasons of his Ohio State career.
The 2023 Class will be officially inducted during a dinner Oct. 6 in the Covelli Center and recognized at Ohio Stadium when the Buckeye football team hosts Maryland Oct. 7. Tickets for the dinner will go on sale in August.
