He also participated in the Colorado/Nebraska Tour, Canada Tour, NORCECA Zone Championships (gold medal), and the World Cup (fourth place).

In 2005, he made his indoor season debut in Japan at the World Grand Champions Cup as the team USA claimed the silver medal with a record of 4-1. He played in each of the final four matches (eight out of 13 sets) and scored 27 points on 23 kills, two blocks and two service aces. In 2005–2006 he played at club level in South Korea for Daejeon Samsung Bluefangs. The following year, Priddy led his team in scoring in seven out of 12 World League matches, including 21 points against Serbia & Montenegro, and was one of the World League leaders in scoring and hitting. The U.S. team went undefeated (4-0) at the Inaugural Pan American Cup in June. Priddy obtained the high score in the first (18), third (23) and fifth (16) matches in Argentina.

In 2008 Priddy was part of the team which won the gold medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics defeating Brazil in final. After leaving Lokomotiv, in 2010–2012 Priddy played for Russian club VC Zenit-Kazan and then for Halkbank Ankara in Turkey (2012–2013).

There are lots of stories that I could talk about of moments where players had to say no to themselves and yes to the “we”, the collective, and it was beautiful.
