LeDuff named 2023 PCAC Male Scholar Athlete of the Year!

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Jets Men's Volleyball student-athlete Jack LeDuff for being named the 2023 PCAC Male Scholar Athlete of the Year!! 

Jack is a three year member of the Miramar MVB program.  He was part of the Jets 2021 MVB team, a group that showed extraordinary dedication and tenacity as it trained all year without the opportunity to play due to the COVID pandemic.  His efforts as a starter contributed to a Pacific Coast Athletic Conference (PCAC) championship in the team's return to competition in 2022 and earned him first-team All-PCAC honors.  Jack led us to a second straight PCAC title this Spring, earning 1st-team All-PCAC honors for the season as well as being named the 2023 PCAC MVB Athlete of the Year.  The on-court attributes of hard work and studiousness has also led to Jack achieving success in the classroom, with a 3.51 GPA in 55 units through Fall of 2022.  His efforts on the court and in the classroom led him to be named to the 2023 American Volleyball Coaches Association Two-Year College Sophomores to Watch list.

Jack has given back to his community with volunteer work that includes coaching youth basketball, time spent at a center for senior citizens, and work with the developmentally disabled.  A great indicator of his dedication to his future: with no men's volleyball programs in his area, Jack has driven nearly an hour daily to Miramar (from Temecula) for the last 3 years, to chase his goal of being a student-athlete at the four-year university level.  That dedication has paid off, as Jack has committed to Cal Lutheran University to continue his volleyball and academic career - the 18th player the Miramar MVB program has helped to a four-year university's MVB program in eight years.  More importantly, you will find Jack to be a fine young man.  He is respectful, responsible, hardworking, and caring – four traits that have led him to be a much-respected member of the Miramar MVB program.  This year, he has developed into one of the leaders of our team; you can hear his voice and hands constantly delivering encouragement and passion in practice and competition.  His successful path forward is an example of our fundamental program goal: to help develop dynamic young men through championship-level volleyball.

Great Job Jack! 

Go Jets!
