Carey Tabbed Third-Team All-American

Nebraska’s Dylan Carey was named a third-team All-American by Perfect Game on Wednesday.

Carey becomes the fifth All-American under head coach Will Bolt, joining Spencer Schwellenbach (first team, 2021), Max Anderson (second team, 2023), Brice Matthews (second and third team, 2023) and Brett Sears (second team, 2024).

The shortstop put together a stellar senior campaign, earning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-Central Region recognition while being named a finalist for the Brooks Wallace Award.

Carey turned in a .353 batting average with 16 doubles, two triples, 15 home runs, 65 RBI and 53 runs scored. The Castle Rock, Colo., native became the program’s all-time leader in career doubles this season and was the ninth Husker in program history to reach 200 career hits, 150 runs and 150 RBI.

Carey was equally impressive in the field, committing just four errors in 216 chances for a .981 fielding percentage while turning 29 double plays at shortstop.
