Jordy Frahm Wins USA Softball Player of the Year as Huskers Head to WCWS

Two-way excellence combined with leadership that revived Nebraska’s program now positions the Huskers as national contenders in Oklahoma City.

Overview

  • Frahm was named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and the NFCA Player of the Year, with the USA Softball honor announced on Tuesday.
  • She produced a rare two-way season, hitting .416 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs while going 20-4 with a 1.14 ERA, 12 saves and 234 strikeouts.
  • Her decision to transfer from Oklahoma in 2023 and the redshirt year after a February 2024 ACL tear are credited with deepening her leadership and anchoring Nebraska’s turnaround.
  • Frahm’s play helped Nebraska win Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles and sweep the Lincoln Super Regional, and the Huskers will open the Women’s College World Series against Arkansas.
  • Beyond awards, Frahm’s presence has boosted recruiting, local interest and national visibility for Nebraska softball and could reshape the program’s competitive trajectory in coming years.
