This is Schreiber’s second straight year earning first-team honors and is the first Husker to earn first-team honors in consecutive seasons since Pat Kelly. As for Meyers, he moved from third-team choice in the outfield for 2016 to first-team honors this year for his work as both a position player and Nebraska’s Sunday starter. During Big Ten play, Meyers led Nebraska to a 7-0-1 record when he was on the mound.
