The 2026 Prep Baseball Nebraska Top Prospect Games took place on May 24, 2026, drawing more than 110 of the state’s most highly regarded prospects. With representatives from over 30 college programs in attendance, the event served as a premier showcase for the next generation of Nebraska talent.
A Dual‑Threat Performer
Among the standout athletes was Andrew Jackson, a 6‑foot‑1, 194.7‑pound right‑handed pitcher who also excels at shortstop. Jackson, a member of the Class of 2027, represents Lincoln Southwest High School and competes on the summer circuit with the Pinnacle Bank 18U team. His combination of size, arm strength and agility immediately set him apart from his peers.
Scouts noted his polished mechanics on the mound and his reliable glove work at shortstop, underscoring a rare versatility for a player of his age. Jackson’s right‑handed bat and throwing arm complement his physical profile, making him a compelling candidate for future collegiate programs.
Though still uncommitted, Jackson’s performance has already generated considerable buzz, with several programs expressing strong interest. His participation in the event highlighted the depth of talent emerging from Nebraska’s high school baseball ranks and reinforced the state’s reputation as a fertile ground for future collegiate stars.
