Starting competition in spring 2027, the Pacific men's volleyball program will be led by Devin Young, who was announced as the head coach in Jan. 2026.
He'll be the first Tigers head coach since the sport was discontinued following the 2013-14 fiscal year.
Young brings eight years of experience from BYU, where he served as an assistant coach. He helped guide the Cougars to a No. 1 national ranking and a national championship match appearance during his tenure.
Pacific will compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, one of the nation's premier men's volleyball conferences. The Tigers will be competing against Stanford, UCLA, USC, Pepperdine, BYU, Concordia Irvine, Menlo, Jessup, UC Merced and Vanguard.
During Young's time at BYU, the Cougars were ranked No. 1 in the nation in 2020 before the season was cut short due to COVID-19. In 2021, he helped lead BYU to an MPSF championship and a national runner-up finish.
Prior to his coaching career, Young worked in sales for Volleymetrics, helping drive growth that ultimately led to the company's acquisition by Hudl.
As a student-athlete at BYU, Young competed in two NCAA Final Fours and was a national runner-up in 2013. A middle blocker, he was a two-time All-MPSF selection and a two-time MPSF All-Tournament honoree, averaging 1.38 kills and 1.09 blocks per set during his four-year career.
A native of McMurray, Pennsylvania, Young is married to his wife Marie, and the couple has four children: Braden, Emma, Molly and Mozzy. He earned his bachelor's degree in business management and his master's degree in instructional psychology and technology from BYU.
