Sam Hoiberg is Nebraska’s glue guard: efficient, disruptive, and relentlessly useful
In the 2025-26 season, Sam Hoiberg has been a high-impact connector for Nebraska, averaging about 9.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists while shooting around 55% from the field and 41% from three; he also brings elite disruption with roughly 2 steals per game and strong all-around efficiency. The appeal is his winning-toolkit profile: tough on-ball defense, smart decision-making, and the kind of motor that shows up in the dirty work. If a team wants a guard who stabilizes possessions, defends, and plays with bite rather than flash, he fits beautifully.
