It’s the second straight year Boldt has been named a third-team honoree and he is the first Husker baseball player to earn consecutive honors since Jeff Leise was a first-team pick in both 2002 and 2003. Leise was honored three years in a row, as he was a third-team selection in 2001.

Boldt and the rest of the Huskers are currently competing in the NCAA Tournament in Clemson, S.C.

Boldt was one of two Big Ten baseball players honored on Friday. He was joined by Michigan senior outfielder Cody Bruder, who was a second-team selection.
