Nebraska baseball star announces return for senior season
Nebraska baseball shortstop Dylan Carey will stay at Nebraska for his senior season instead of pursuing other professional opportunities. This was reported by Evan Bland of the Omaha World-Herald on Thursday. Carey went undrafted in the MLB draft, but was one of the most consistent hitters for the program last season. He had a. 288 average, with eight home runs, and 41 RBIs in 62 games. He has played in 176 total games for Nebraska, and has a career .273 batting average with 19 home runs and 102 RBIs. Carey will help lead a team that is losing several key contributors for the 2026 season. The Huskers will still have several veteran players on the roster. Centerfielder Riley Silva and first baseman Casey Sanderson are among the players looking to make big strides next season. Having Carey back in the lineup should provide additional support for a team looking to make a jump in 2026.
