HACKENSACK, N.J. - Second-year head coach Karl France announced five additions to his 2022 signing class on Monday following the completion of the FDU men's volleyball inaugural season.

Davidson Claros | Outside Hitter | Far Rockaway, New York | Lawrence High School

Claros will remain in the Tri-State Area as he joins the Knights from Farrock, N.Y., where he competed at Lawrence High School and Sportime Volleyball Club.

The 6'2 outside hitter secured an All-Conference nod along with a pair of All-County honors during his high school career, also competing in the Nassau County and Long Island All Star games.

A four-year member of the honor roll, Claros intends to major in computer science when he comes to Hackensack in fall 2022.

From Coach France

"Davidson is a smart player with a strong arm. His powerful serve will be a weapon in the spring. We are so lucky to have him at FDU."

Jamal Ellis Carballo | Opposite Hitter | Bayamón, Puerto Rico | Academia Discípulos de Cristo

Carballo joins FDU's 2022 signing class from Bayamón, Puerto Rico.

The 6'6 opposite hitter built his resume on the varsity team at Academia Discípulos de Cristo and with Vaqueros Volleyball Club where he earned an All-American nod in the 2019 16U Boys Junior Nationals. 

From Coach France

"Jamal is a high-profile player who has represented Puerto Rico several times in his early volleyball career. His next-level ability to score from the service line and at the net as an opposite will bolster the Knights as we strive to balance our offense." 

Sina Sinbari | Outside Hitter | Laguna Niguel, California | Mission Viejo High School (University of Charleston)

Hailing from Laguna Niguel, California, Sinbari will join the Knights squad as a transfer from the University of Charleston (W.V.) and Santiago Canyon College where he was named to the All-OEC Second Team as a freshman.

The 6'3 outside hitter competed on the varsity team at Mission Viejo High School and with the HBC Volleyball Club team under Darrick Lucero.

Ethan Young | Outside Hitter | Hermosa Beach, California | Mira Costa High School (UCSB)

A 6'3 outside hitter from Hermosa Beach, California, Young joins the Knights as a west coast transfer where he played at UC Santa Barbara.

Young earned the title of Most Improved Player as a senior on the varsity team at Mira Costa High School. Training with MB Surf Volleyball Club under Teddy Goetz, Young competed at the 2018 Junior Olympics where he landed a spot on the All-Tournament team.

From Coach France

"Ethan is an experienced pin hitter with a fabulous pedigree. His background and athleticism will strengthen our offensive front as we enter the 2023 season."
