Jake Hanes, the towering 6’11” right-side hitter from Sandburg High, is poised to shine on the world stage as a key member of Team USA’s volleyball squad heading into the 2028 Olympics.

Under coach Karch Kiraly and honed by overseas play in Berlin, Hanes embodies the grit and teamwork that define elite volleyball.
