Jesse Farrell is Nebraska’s two-way spark plug behind the plate
Jesse Farrell has been a difference-maker for Nebraska in the 2026 season, pairing steady defense at catcher with real middle-of-the-order pop: she hit .297 with 17 home runs, 13 doubles, 45 RBI, and 42 runs scored while earning NFCA All-Mountain Region First Team honors. She also showed the kind of toughness coaches love, handling a heavy catching load with a .993 fielding percentage and majoring in psychology — a nice little bonus for the “keeps the room calm when the game gets weird” department. If you want a catcher who can control the run game, punish mistakes, and bring energy, Farrell fits beautifully.
