Former Nebraska softball player and current assistant coach Jordy Frahm signed to compete in the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) for the Oklahoma City Spark in 2027, the organization announced on Thursday.
Frahm is the second Husker to play in the AUSL, as Billie Andrews was also drafted by the Oklahoma City Spark in 2025. Spark general manager Kirk Walker selected Frahm in the 2026 AUSL College Draft as a provisional pick, so while she wasn’t a full-time rostered player last year, the team had first rights to sign her.
In her career, Frahm was a four-time first-team All-American, one of only 14 players in NCAA history to accomplish the feat. She was a two-time NFCA Player of the Year, the 2026 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and the 2026 Honda Award WInner for Softball. In 2025, Frahm was the Big Ten Player of the Year and the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year. She was also the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year in 2026 and was the Rawlings Gold Glove pitcher in the same year.
The Papillion, Neb., native spent two seasons at Oklahoma and won a pair of national championships before returning to play for her home state. She was a two-time Big 12 Pitcher of the Year in 2022 and 2023 and was the 2022 Big 12 Freshman of the Year.
Frahm captained Nebraska to its eighth overall NCAA Women’s College World Series appearance and first since 2013. She became the first player in NCAA history to record 20 wins and 20 home runs in multiple seasons and 20 wins, 20 home runs and 10 saves in the same season (2026).
In her senior season, Frahm went 21-6 with a 1.37 ERA and racked up a nation-leading 12 saves, which tied a Big Ten single-season record and was the Nebraska single-season record. She threw 18 complete games and struck out 251 batters while walking only 33. In addition to leading the nation in saves, Frahm ranked third nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio, fourth in shutouts, fifth in ERA and sixth in strikeouts per seven innings. Offensively, Frahm posted a .403 batting average with 79 hits, 60 runs and 51 RBI. She added 11 doubles, four triples and 20 homers for a .860 slugging percentage.
