Jack Tyrrell Steps Up as New Era Begins for Men's Volleyball Program
The CMU Men's Volleyball program is pleased to announce Jack Tyrrell the successor to longtime head coach Don Dulder, as the rising star in the local coaching scene proved his worth assisting Dulder in preparing the Blazers for their 2025 CCAA Nationals run.

His well-rounded game as a player had him slot in throughout the lineup, including most frequently as libero and middle, two positions often considered polar opposites.
