Jordy Bahl is looking to bring a continued level of success to the Nebraska Cornhuskers next season.

That’s exactly what she provided the Oklahoma Sooners over her time in Norman, helping the program become the class of the sport over her two seasons. While Bahl could’ve stayed at Oklahoma, she opted to transfer home to Nebraska, where she wants to share her success with a place that means so much to her.

So how will she do it? Through hard work and determination, of course, as Bahl explained to the media.

“I don’t know, this team has a lot of strengths, and so I don’t want to walk in and in any way feel like I’m over-stepping anything. That’s not what I want to do,” explained Bahl. “I just want to come into this program and help in whatever way I can. I just think our team is going to work hard all season, to just leave it all out there, and when you just leave it all out there, it’s in the Lord’s hands.

“Whatever happens, you’re giving everything that you have, and that’s all you can ask for. So it’s going to be fun to see what happens.”

That helped Jordy Bahl before on the field. You don’t dominate an entire sport by accident. Time will tell, but anybody who bets against her continuing her success at Nebraska may be a fool.

Jordy Bahl reveals why she originally chose Oklahoma over Nebraska

Softball superstar Jordy Bahl is heading back to her home state of Nebraska to suit up for the Cornhuskers for the final few years of her collegiate career.

Citing wanting to be closer to home as her reason for transferring to Nebraska, Bahl explained why she decided to leave her home and travel to Oklahoma, the mecca of college softball, in the first place

“I was a sophomore or junior in high school, and at that point in my life, I wasn’t aware of how much I needed balance until I left home and am seven hours away from everything that means so much more to me than the game itself,” Bahl said. “And then I realized I can’t love the game itself without having these other things in my life that I love so much.

“Everything gets out of whack, and then like I said, a lot of maturity. A lot of growing up. I’m thankful that I went down to Oklahoma, because I learned a lot. And I wouldn’t change anything because I believe it all happened for a reason.”

That’s a very mature mindset for having been in college for two years. Maturity has never been a question for Bahl on the mound, as those two season at Oklahoma saw some of the most dominant pitching college baseball has seen in Norman in a long time, and now she’ll hope to bring that to the Cornhuskers.
