Nebraska softball players Hannah Coor, Jordyn Frahm and Ava Kuszak were deemed Big Ten Players to Watch for the 2026 season, the conference announced on Thursday. Coor, a transfer outfielder from Oklahoma, is in her first year with the Huskers. The two-way player was also the Big Ten Player of the Year and Big Ten Pitcher of the Year, the first player to earn both awards in the same season. Kuszak was also named to the Top 50 Watchlist for the USA Softball Player of the Year and was a D1 Softball preseason All-American. The two are both in the top 10 in school history in batting average, runs, home runs, extra-base hits, RBIs, total bases and slugging percentage.
