Nebraska leadership is doing its part to hold onto the only Husker coach to win a Big Ten Conference championship this past year.
Baseball head coach Will Bolt received a contract extension Thursday. Interim Nebraska Athletic Director Garrett Klassy made the announcement on the Huskers Radio Network’s Sports Nightly.
“The work of Will and his staff in their short time at Nebraska, both on the field and in recruiting, speaks for itself,” Klassy said. “Will is the right leader for our baseball program. He understands the history of what makes this program successful, loves Nebraska and embraces the passion of our fan base.
“We are committed to providing the resources necessary for Nebraska Baseball to achieve at the highest level and compete for trips to the College World Series.”
Bolt’s deal now runs through June 30, 2026. He’ll see his annual salary increase by $100,000.
“It is an exciting time for Husker Baseball and I am very appreciate of the support our administration and University leaders have extended to our program,” Bolt said. “My staff and I look forward to continuing to work hard every day to make Nebraska Baseball one of the nation’s best programs.
“We are thrilled to be at a place like Nebraska where we have support at every turn. Go Big Red!”
