Max Anderson racked up another postseason award on Wednesday, as he was named a freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. It’s the third-straight season Nebraska has produced a freshman All-American, as Colby Gomes (NCBWA) was honored in 2019 and Leighton Banjoff (Collegiate Baseball) was picked in 2020. The Big Ten Freshman of the Year finished second on the team in batting average (.332) and hits (61). He added seven home runs and 32 RBIs in 45 games. He had 19 multi-hit games, including a team-best nine three-hit games and tied for the team lead with a pair of four-hit performances.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Luke McCaffrey has left the Louisville program. According to Cardinals head coach Scott Satterfield said McCaffrey was on campus for roughly a week, and participated in only “3-4” summer workouts before deciding to leave the program because he wanted to come in and be the starting quarterback. He committed to Louisville in February after having left Nebraska the month prior.
