Continuing our countdown at No. 56:

🏐 Andrew Zaleck (Rutgers-Newark) — Men's Volleyball, 2020-23

The most decorated player in NJAC men's volleyball history, Zaleck was a three-time NJAC Player of the Year and two-time AVCA All-American. He also earned 2022 AVCA East Region Player of the Year honors while helping lead Rutgers-Newark to three NJAC championships and an appearance in the 2022 NCAA Division III quarterfinals. His career coincided with the formative years of NJAC men's volleyball and the unprecedented disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through it all, Zaleck emerged as the defining player of the conference's early men's volleyball history and helped establish a standard of excellence for the sport. 🏆

***In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the New Jersey Athletic Conference, the NJAC will name its Top 70 Student-Athletes in the 70-year history of the conference. All selections were made by a panel comprised of current and former athletic administrators, current and former athletic communications personnel, conference office staff, and media. Consideration was limited to full-member institution student-athletes who competed in sports currently sponsored by the NJAC.***
