**Jordy Bah, Nebraska Softball Top Player in America, Chooses Arizona State Over Hometown Huskers**
In a move that has stunned the softball community and sent shockwaves through Nebraskaโs fanbase, Jordy Bah โ widely considered the **top high school softball player in America** โ has officially committed to play for **Arizona State University**, turning down her home-state program, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Bah, a native of Lincoln, Nebraska, has been the crown jewel of the stateโs softball scene for the past two years. With a lightning-fast swing, elite defensive instincts, and the kind of leadership rarely seen in high school athletes, she was seen as a once-in-a-generation talent for Nebraska softball. Many fans and insiders had assumed her path would follow the footsteps of local legends, staying in-state and elevating the Huskers to national prominence. But Jordy had other plans.
In a heartfelt social media post, Bah thanked the Nebraska coaching staff and the community that supported her journey, but explained that her decision came down to growth, competition, and the opportunity to play on the national stage.
> โThis was not an easy decision,โ Bah wrote. โIโve grown up dreaming of wearing that โN,โ but sometimes your dreams evolve. Arizona State felt like home the moment I stepped on campus. The facilities, the coaching staff, the competition in the Pac-12 โ I know thatโs where Iโll become the best version of myself.โ
Arizona State, with a strong softball tradition and a track record of developing top-tier talent, presented an irresistible offer. The Sun Devilsโ aggressive, fast-paced style of play complements Bahโs skill set perfectly. Combined with their recent recruiting success and postseason momentum, ASU has positioned itself as a national contender in the coming years โ and Bah could be the missing piece.
The decision is a major recruiting blow to Nebraska head coach Rhonda Revelle, who has worked tirelessly to keep elite in-state talent home. In recent seasons, the Huskers have made progress, returning to the NCAA Tournament and building a competitive roster. Bah was seen as the cornerstone of that next step โ a player who could push the program into the Womenโs College World Series conversation. Her departure changes that trajectory.
Revelle responded with class, saying in a statement, โWe are proud of Jordy and all she has accomplished. While we would have loved to see her in Husker red, we respect her decision and wish her nothing but success at Arizona State. She will always have fans in Nebraska.โ
For Arizona State, this is a seismic recruiting win. Bah instantly boosts the Sun Devils’ national profile and will be expected to contribute from day one. Her arrival signals that ASU is not just participating in the race for national dominance โ theyโre sprinting toward it.
As for Nebraska, the sting of losing their top prospect is real, but the program remains resilient. The Huskers will look to rally behind their current stars and focus on the future, while the softball world keeps its eyes on Tempe โ and the rising star who turned down home to chase greatness.
