Returning to Lincoln Sandfort will return to Lincoln ahead of the 2026-27 season, per Joe Tipton of On3.com.

Impact This is a massive retention for Nebraska, as Sandfort exploded in 2025-26 after transferring from Iowa. The 6-foot-7 wing averaged 18.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while on excellent 48/42/86 shooting splits. He should remain one of the most dangerous wings in the Big Ten as a senior.

Ends season with 25-point effort Sandfort registered 25 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 77-71 loss to Iowa.

Impact Sandfort played his first two collegiate seasons at Iowa and had a chance to knock his former school out of the Big Dance here, and while he gave it his best go with six three-pointers, it wasn't enough to prevent the game from getting away from the Huskers. In three NCAA Tournament games, Sandfort has knocked down 16 total three-pointers at a success rate of 57.1 percent. He may be an early favorite to lead the country in three-point shooting provided he returns for his final season of eligibility in 2026-27.

Pivotal as Huskers advance Sandfort accumulated 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 74-72 win over Vanderbilt.

Impact Sandfort now has 15 or more points in four consecutive contests, as well as 10 combined three-pointers in two NCAA Tournament games. While it's normally the shooting that gets talked about with respect to Nebraska's leading scorer, it was actually passing here, as Sandfort found freshman Braden Frager for the go-ahead bucket with 2.2 seconds remaining. The Cornhuskers had to sweat out a dangerously close halfcourt heave, but now Nebraska -- off its second NCAA Tournament win in program history -- is headed to the Sweet Sixteen for the very first time.
