Another honor for one of the greatest to ever come out of Nebraska.
Lincoln Southeast alum and former Kansas City Royal Alex Gordon is set to be inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame for his time on the Nebraska baseball team. Gordon joins 11 others in the 2023 Class.
Gordon earned freshman All-America honors in 2023 and followed it up by making First-team All-America in both 2004 and 2005. He was the consensus national player of the year, while winning the Golden Spikes, Brooks Wallace, Dick Howser and the ABCA National Player of the Year Awards.
He was also the tow-time Big 12 Player of the Year and helped the Huskers to their first College World Series victory.
Gordon went on to enjoy a stellar professional career, taken No. 2 overall by the Royals. The three-time All-Star spent all 14 years of his professional career in Kansas City, being a key piece in their 2015 World Series title.
The induction will take place Feb. 15, 2024 in Overland Park, Kan.
