Jasa is the sixth All-American under Bolt following a wildly successful 2026 campaign. He finished 10-2 on the season, becoming the 13th Husker in program history to reach the 10-win mark in a season and the first since 2007. The Thornton, Colorado, native also finished fifth in program history for strikeouts in a season after recording 117 strikeouts across 87.2 innings.
