Lincoln – Nebraska baseball Head Coach Darin Erstad announced of the signing of nine future Huskers on Monday. The nine-member class will join the Huskers for the 2015 season.

Six of the prep standouts are regarded as top-15 players in their state, including four who are tabbed as a top-five prospects.

“First off, I want to thank Recruiting Coordinator Ted Silva and Associate Head Coach Will Bolt for their tireless efforts putting together our 2014 class,” Head Coach Darin Erstad said. “They put together the No. 11 ranked recruiting class ranked by Baseball America in 2013 and when it is all said and done the 2014 class will have the potential to be just as good. The 2014 class is a very physical group who will all be ready to play the day they set foot on campus. We are always looking for student-athletes who are going to be great teammates and fit into our style of play. This entire class has the ‘empty the tank’ mentality that is essential to success in life.  We are very excited about the potential of this group.”

Spanning six states from coast-to-coast, the class is led by three Nebraska products, while two future Huskers hail from Missouri along with one recruit each from California, Kansas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
