Lincoln – Nebraska's Kobe Webster joined an elite list Husker men's basketball players on Friday, as he was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® team.
Webster, a senior guard from Indianapolis, Ind., was named a third-team honoree, as he carries a 3.75 GPA while working on his master's degree in educational administration at Nebraska. He graduated from Western Illinois in three years in May of 2020, and will continue his master's degree next season as he competes for the Huskers in 2021-22.
Webster is the first Husker men's basketball player to garner Academic All-America honors since Shavon Shields was a first-team honoree in 2015 and 2016, while Webster extends Nebraska's nation-leading Academic All-America total to 341.
