Nyherowo Omene Named to USA Volleyball Men’s U23 National Team

PRINCETON, N.J. – Nyherowo Omene was selected to the USA Men’s U23 National Team, USA Volleyball announced Monday. 

Omene was one of 21 athletes selected to train for the NORCECA U23 Pan American Cup, which will be held in July 27-August 4 in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

The athletes will gather for a training camp at the National Team Training Center in Anaheim, Calif., from July 20-27. From this pool, 12 will be chosen to represent the United States in Guatemala.

Omene, who graduated from Princeton last month after completing his senior season, was a 2025 AVCA All-American Honorable Mention and a First Team All-EIVA honoree. 

Omene ended the season leading the league in three stat categories, including kills per set (4.40), service aces (0.48) and points per set (5.31). He also earned EIVA weekly honors five times over the course of the season, making over 20 kills in four matches and 15 or more in 14. 

As a captain this season, Omene led Princeton to an EIVA Regular Season Championship title and its third EIVA Championship match in his four years.

No stranger to the international stage, however, Omene helped the USA win the U21 World Championship and claim silver at the U21 Pan American Cup in 2023. 

Omene will now look ahead to Anaheim in July, where he will vie for a spot on the squad that will head to Guatemala for the Pan American Cup.
