This 25-year-old outside hitter is joining from Austrian champions Hypo Tirol Innsbruck, and he's inked a two-year contract with the team. If you're wondering about his credentials, this is his second professional stint, and he's got some impressive achievements to back him up.
Coach Adam Swaczyna had this to say about his latest acquisition: "We need players with a never-ending hunger for improvement. Kyle's got that fire, no doubt. Our philosophy is to nurture young talent, and Kyle fits the bill perfectly. He's a powerhouse, with insane vertical leap, and he's got a rock-solid foundation."
And let's not forget that Kyle's not just a rugged, all-around player—he's a proven scorer, too. As an opposite hitter, he's a force to be reckoned with. You might have caught a glimpse of his genius during the 2025 Volleyball Nations League (VNL), where he led the U.S. team with 17 kills, 19 total points, and two blocks in an electrifying comeback victory against Iran after finding themselves two sets behind[2]. Talk about pressure! But Kyle thrived under it, showing what he's truly capable of on the international stage.
It's also worth mentioning that Kyle's no stranger to the pressure cooker of elite-level competition. Before making the leap to the national team, he made a name for himself in Big West men's volleyball circuits[4]. His rapid ascent from top college play to national team success proves he's a rapidly developing force to reckon with.
