Loyola Chicago men’s volleyball head coach Shane Davis announced the addition of three new players to the Ramblers’ roster for the 2026 season: junior transfer Aleksandar Sosa, graduate transfer Josh Schellinger, and incoming freshman Ryan Roginski.
Josh Schellinger | Outside Hitter | Bloomingdale, Ill.
Returning to his home state for his final collegiate season, Schellinger transfers from UC San Diego after a standout 2025 campaign. He earned All-Big West Honorable Mention and AVCA All-American Honorable Mention honors, tallying 17 double-digit kill performances. His season included a career-high 22 kills, 12 digs, and 26 points in the Big West Championship quarterfinals against UC Santa Barbara. He finished among the Big West’s top 10 in both kills per set and hitting percentage during conference play.
“Josh is a seasoned player with big-match experience and the kind of leadership you want in your locker room,” said Davis. “His versatility and drive are a perfect fit for our culture.”
Aleksandar Sosa | Opposite | Zrenjanin, Serbia
Sosa arrives from Quincy University following a breakout 2025 season that earned him Second Team All-MIVA honors. The Serbian native was one of the league’s top offensive threats, finishing third in total kills (369) and fifth in kills per set (3.73)—ranked 21st nationally. He also led the Hawks in service aces (38) and added 100 digs, 16 solo blocks, and 56 block assists over 99 sets.
“Aleksandar brings a dynamic offensive presence that will make an immediate impact,” Davis said. “What sets him apart is his ability to contribute in every phase of the game.”
Ryan Roginski | Middle Blocker | Gresham, Ore.
Roginski, a 6-foot-6 middle blocker, joins the program from Ajax Volleyball Academy’s 18 Gold team in Oregon. Known for his size, athleticism, and instincts at the net, he has also participated in USA Volleyball’s National Team Development Program.
“Ryan is a high-upside middle with great size and work ethic,” Davis said. “He’s developing quickly and brings a ton of potential to our group.”
The trio is expected to strengthen the Ramblers’ depth across multiple positions as the program looks to build on its competitive legacy in the MIVA.
