Hagen Smith

Hagen, son of Volleyball Legend Sinjin Smith, has been playing volleyball since he came out of the womb. Growing up, he played indoor for his school and club teams, then would hit the beach circuit in the summers. He played high school ball for Loyola High School and then onto UCLA, where he was part of a 6-2 offense with Micah Ma’a that had not been implemented since his dad’s time at UCLA. Hagen graduated in 2017 from UCLA and moved to play beach full time. Hagen has been playing on the AVP since 2017 and has just had his best season in 2022, with a top finish of 3rd in AVP Chicago.

Outside of Volleyball, Hagen enjoys surfing, dirt biking, hitting the gym, and pretty much anything he can compete in. One thing fans might not know about Hagen is that he was bitten by a shark when he was 15.
