Nebraska baseball coach Will Bolt signs five-year contract extension
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska baseball coach Will Bolt signed a five-year contract extension on Tuesday.
The deal runs through the 2029 season, Athletic Director Troy Dannen announced, and Bolt’s annual salary will be $500,000.
“We are pleased to have Will Bolt as the leader of our baseball program well into the future,” Dannen said in a press release. “Will has been a big part of the success of Nebraska Baseball over the past two decades, not only as the head coach, but also as an assistant coach and player. Through his past experiences, he knows what it takes to win at Nebraska and has a great vision to continue to elevate our program in the coming years.”
Bolt helped lead Nebraska to the program’s 19th 40-win season this year.
Nebraska then secured its first Big Ten Tournament title since joining the conference in 2012. It was also the Huskers’ first conference tournament title since 2005.
“I would like to thank Athletic Director Troy Dannen and Deputy Athletic Director Dennis Leblanc for their confidence in our leadership and the direction of our program,” Bolt said in the release. “There is a lot of momentum with our program, and I am grateful for the dedication of our coaching staff, the hard work and commitment of our players, and the incredible support of our fan base.”
In five seasons with Nebraska, Bolt has 137 wins under his belt, the sixth most in program history. The Huskers have also won two conference titles and made a pair of NCAA regional appearances with Bolt at the helm.

Police in Nebraska were called to a convenience store after reports of gunfire — only to find a dog accidentally shot a person with a shotgun.
Officers with the Scottsbluff Police Department were called to Short Stop, a gas station and convenience store, after receiving a report that someone had been shot with a BB gun just after noon on Saturday, KNOP News 2 reported.
However, while on their way to the scene, police were informed that the incident actually involved a shotgun.
At the store, police found a truck with damage consistent with a shotgun blast to the passenger side door.
The driver of the truck had pulled into the parking lot to shop, but a dog in the back seat of their vehicle moved from one side of the car to the other — and managed to cause the loaded shotgun to discharge.
The shotgun fired off into the passenger side panel of the car. A pellet also struck a woman who was stopped at a nearby traffic light and had her right arm dangling out of the car’s open window.
The pellet from the shotgun struck her in the upper arm, police said.
The woman’s injury was not believed to be life-threatening. She was taken to a nearby hospital by a family member.
It is against the law in Nebraska to travel with a loaded shotgun in a vehicle, according to the report.
The incident is being investigated by the Scottsbluff Police Department.
