Cole McCoy signs with Norse Men’s Volleyball

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University Norse men's volleyball announced the signing of 2027 incoming freshman Cole McCoy on Wednesday. 

"We are excited to welcome Cole to the NKU Men's Volleyball family," said Norse head coach Jim Palilonis. "He has been playing at a high level for several years. Cole's hard work and dedication to the sport resulted in his recognition as Wisconsin State Player of the Year after leading his team to the state championship finals. While Cole has had tremendous success at the high school and club levels, we can't wait to get him in the gym and participate in his development as a collegiate athlete. We are confident he will have great success at Northern Kentucky University."

McCoy, the 2026 Badger Region / Frisco Mo Boys State Player of the Year in Wisconsin, helped lead Sussex Hamilton to a runner-up finish at the WIAA State Tournament. McCoy was unanimously named Greater Metro Conference Player of the Year after racking up 389 kills and 35 aces. A 6'6" outside hitter, McCoy has surpassed over 1,000 career kills and helped Sussex Hamilton win a WIAA State Championship in 2024. McCoy recorded 27 kills in a four-set match, which is tied for the second-highest in state history. His other accolades include earning all-state second team honors and all-conference first team honors in 2025, as well as being named to the Badger Region HP All-Star team.
