Off The Block, the nation's leader in college men's volleyball coverage, announced on Monday that a nationwide voting committee selected Zach Solomon as the 2026 National Server of the Year. The Off The Block National Server of the Year is an annual award that recognizes the top individual serving performance from a NCAA Division I or II men's volleyball player during the regular season.

Solomon, a First-Team All-MIVA Selection and an AVCA All-America Honorable Mention selection, set the Lindenwood NCAA Era Record for service aces in a single season with 54 while leading the nation and the MIVA in aces per set (.593). The Senior Setter had 10 matches in 2026 in which he recorded three or more service aces, and had two matches where he posted a season-high five service aces. He also was a three-time MIVA Offensive Player of the Week award winner and became the first player in program history to win the AVCA National Player of the Week award on February 10, 2026. 

The voting committee for the National Server of the Year was comprised of college coaches and media members from around the nation. Solomon received 23 votes, one more vote than runner-up UCLA setter Andrew Rowan. Ball State outside attacker Patrick Rogers finished in third place with six votes.
