Olympic gold medalists Clay Stanley and Reid Priddy were among the players named to the U.S. men's volleyball roster for the London Games.
The roster announced Thursday by coach Alan Knipe was submitted to the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Stanley and Priddy will both be playing in their third Olympics. Both were starters on the U.S. team that won the gold medal at the Beijing Games.
