The Nebraska Cornhuskers' baseball team took a couple of hits on Sunday and Monday when several Huskers were drafted or signed with Major League Baseball. The first was Mason McConaughey, who was selected with the 115th pick in the draft by the Texas Rangers.
McConaughey missed most of the 2025 season due to an injury. Still, he was solid enough in 2024 and before his injury that the Rangers thought he was worth a flyer. He's said he'll sign with the Rangers and depart the Cornhuskers.
His loss is bad, but was mostly expected.
