The University of Scranton has named Huy Nguyen as the first head coach in the history of its men's volleyball program. The Royals are set to begin competition in the 2026-27 academic year.

Nguyen brings a strong background in program development at both the collegiate and high school levels. He revitalized the Penn State Wilkes-Barre women's volleyball program, growing the roster from one student-athlete to 12 and leading the team to its first playoff appearance in 10 years.

He is also the founder of Dub City Sports, expanding the club from one team to three within three years, and currently oversees both the boys' and girls' volleyball programs at Wilkes-Barre Area High School.

Men's volleyball continues to be one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, with 132 NCAA Division III institutions sponsoring the sport and more than 60,000 high school student-athletes competing nationwide. Scranton is set to begin play alongside fellow Landmark Conference member Lycoming College, helping the conference reach six teams and officially sponsor the sport.

Home matches will be played at the John Long Center on Scranton's campus.
