Born and raised in Louisiana, Evan Cory discovered volleyball at 14 while watching his parents play at Coconut Beach Complex.

By 16, he was competing indoors and went on to become the first male volleyball player from Louisiana to compete collegiately, helping lay the foundation for Lincoln Memorial University’s program. There, he earned All-American honors and became the program’s all-time leader in kills, aces, digs and points. Off the court, Evan graduated top 10 in his class with a degree in Accounting and Finance.

After college, Evan returned to the beach and found the stage that fit him best. His explosive game, relentless energy and unmistakable personality quickly made him a player fans remembered. Since breaking through on the AVP Tour, he has won domestically and internationally, represented Team USA around the world, and competed at the highest level of the Beach Pro Tour.

From Coconut Beach to the world stage, Evan’s path has never been conventional. That’s exactly what makes it his.
