Baseball Duo Earns NCCAA All-America Recognition

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Nearly one week after the conclusion of the National Christian College Athletic Association Baseball World Series concluded, the organization released its 2026 Baseball All-America teams on Tuesday morning. The University of Northwestern had two players represented on the three teams, with one earning First Team honors and the other being named to the Third Team.

The full list of NCCAA Baseball awards can be found here.

To the surprise of few, Dreyer Homan (Clara City, Minn./MACCRAY) earned First Team All-America status for the first time in his career after moving from the bullpen to the starting rotation. The senior, who last week received the NCCAA's Hank Burbridge Award and was also a First Team All-UMAC selection this season, finished the season with a 4.21 ERA and a 2.66 ERA in conference games, with 83 and 53 strikeouts, respectively, which both led the conference and were seventh in the NCCAA. The Clara City native also went 1-2 at the plate as a hitter, including launching a memorable, two-run home run over the left field wall in his final home game.

Jack Burns (Plainfield, Ill./Aurora Christian) was awarded Third Team All-America recognition after bursting onto the scene in his first year of college ball. The freshman led the team in RBI (41), doubles (10), triples (5) and slugging percentage (.500), and was second in batting average (.340), OPS (.904) and stolen bases (9). He also had success on the mound in addition to starting games at third base, second base, shortstop and right field. Burns sported an ERA of 2.19 in 12.1 innings this season, including 0.00 in 7.1 innings of conference action. His five triples also tied him for the nationwide lead among NCCAA schools.
