Induction:
2007
Class:
1980

Dusty Dvorak was the greatest setter in USC volleyball history, and perhaps America’s best ever. A 2-time All-American first teamer (1979-80) and 3-time All-Conference first team pick (1978-80), he helped USC win the 1977 and 1980 NCAA championships (and the 1979 Trojans were NCAA runners-up). He was named to the NCAA All-Tournament team in 1977 and as MVP in 1980. The 4-year (1977-80) letterman then joined the U.S. national team and led the squad to volleyball’s triple crown: a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics, 1985 World Cup and 1986 World Championships. He then played professionally in Italy until 1993 and on the beach. He was inducted into the International Volleyball Association Hall of Fame in 1998 and also was named to Volleyball magazine’s All-Century first team and All-Time American Indoor first team. In 2016, he was named to the Pac-12 All-Century team. He then worked in the real estate field.
