The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, all while shooting 42% from beyond the arc, putting together one of the most prolific shooting seasons in school history.

He won an array of awards for his efforts, including First-Team All-Big Ten and the NCAA Tournament All-South Regional Team.

The Waukee, Iowa, native also broke the single-season record for 3-pointers made (129).

Sandfort ranked third nationally in 3-pointers and fourth in 3-pointers per game (3.6). His 3-point mark ranks second in Big Ten single-season history.

“After his record-breaking season, Pryce had a great deal of interest from NBA teams after helping our program to its best season in program history,” head coach Fred Hoiberg said on X. “His goal is to play in the NBA and would likely be drafted, but he wants to grow his game and has very specific things he wants to work on. He feels like we have a lot of unfinished business after this year, and he wants to solidify his legacy in Lincoln and put himself in the best position for a long professional career. It’s a testament to him for betting on himself and wanting to do it here at Nebraska.”
