According to the Daily News, Valencia middle blocker Jim Baughman has committed to Long Beach State. Baughman is a former All-Foothill League selection in volleyball and basketball. He joins teammate Derrick Trent, who has already committed to the 49ers.

In addition, senior teammate Jamey Ker has again been chosen to represent the U.S. Boys’ Youth National Training Team this summer. However, the UCLA-bound senior is planning to forgo his invitation and will instead play out his final club season with Santa Clarita Synergy.
