Dillon Klein and Parker Tomkinson Garner MPSF/Molten Player of the Week Awards

LOS ANGELES – USC men's volleyball senior outside hitter Dillon Klein (Pacific Palisades, Calif./Loyola HS) was named the MPSF/Molten Offensive Player of the Week, and sophomore middle blocker Parker Tomkinson (Carlsbad, Calif./Carlsbad HS) was chosen as the Defensive Player of the Week for the week of March 30-April 5, the league announced on Monday, April 6.

The awards are the seventh and eighth won by Trojans this season and are the eighth-career and third-career awards for Klein and Tomkinson respectively. Klein has already won the award twice this season (Feb. 2, 16) while Tomkinson won twice as a freshman in 2025. The double selection marks the eighth time that a pair of Trojans have swept the weekly awards since 2022.

In an other-worldly week for the All-American hitter, Klein hit .580 and collected 35 kills (5.00 kps) to average 6.21 points per set (43.5 points) in two wins over 14th-ranked Stanford. He recorded his 76th and 77th-career matches in double-digit kills and had his 13th contest with 20 or more kills. In the teams' first meeting, Klein had 15 kills and hit .478 with three service aces and a solo block to total 19.0 points. He then had 20 kills and hit .667 with four blocks (one solo) and a pair of service aces in the rematch for 24.5 points. In the second set of the rematch, he attacked 10 times and had 10 kills to hit an astonishing 1.000 in the frame

Tomkinson put up 11 blocks to average 1.57 blocks per set in the two wins against Stanford. He had five blocks (one solo) in the teams' first meeting and then put up six blocks in the rematch. He also had 12 kills and hit .450 to average 2.57 points per set in the wins.

Fourth-ranked USC (16-3, 8-2 MPSF) leaves the state of California for the first time this spring for a pair of matches at 10th-ranked BYU (19-8, 6-4 MPSF). The teams will meet at Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah, for a 7 p.m. MT (6 p.m. PT) match on Friday (April 10) that will be shown on B1G+ and on byu.tv. The teams then meet for a rematch on Saturday (April 11) at 8 p.m. MT (7 p.m. PT) that will be shown live nationally on Big Ten Network.
