Elias Hunter

Elias first picked up volleyball as a freshman at Oregon State University, where he joined the OSU Men’s Club team and quickly found his rhythm. Always refining his serve receive, Elias channels his drive to constantly improve both on and off the court. To him, mental toughness is about keeping calm under pressure and staying true to his game, no matter the situation. He plays to make the sport fun and uplifting rather than stressful, and he sets that tone every time he steps on the court—often with Timeless by The Weeknd playing in his head.
