HIGH SCHOOL: The Ball name should be familiar to both Ball State men's volleyball fans and fans of the sport in general. Ball's grandfather, Arnie Ball, played for the Cardinals from 1966-67 and was an All-MIVA performer both years. He went on to coach at Purdue Fort Wayne and was inducted into the MIVA Hall of Fame in 2018. His father, Lloy Ball, played at Purdue Fort Wayne where he has been described as the most decorated athlete in school history after being a four-time NCAA All-American and four-time U.S. Olympian. Dyer comes to BSU as a 6'6" lefty who will play on the right side. Ball has spent most of his high school career at Angola High School playing football and basketball, but will transition to volleyball and play for the Cardinals. Ball was named First Team All-Northeast Corner Conference as a junior and has amassed 17 touchdowns playing football and 483 points playing basketball. Started playing volleyball at age 16.
