Pryce Sandfort named to award watch list and top 100 players ranking

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — On Oct. 28, Husker men’s basketball senior Pryce Sandfort was recognized for a few accolades.

Sandfort was named to a watch list for the Julius Erving Award. This award is given to the top men’s NCAA D1 small forward.

ESPN reporters Jeff Borzello and Myron Medcalf released their top 100 ranking of college men basketball players, ranking Sandfort at 20th. Borzello said Sandfort is one of the best 3-point shooters in basketball.

Sandfort comes into his senior season with the Huskers after a record-breaking 2025-26 season for Nebraska men’s basketball, winning their first-ever NCAA Tournament game.

Last season, Sandfort averaged 18.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, according to Nebraska Athletics.

Husker men’s basketball’s first game is on Nov. 2 against Le Moyne at 6:30 p.m.
