Williams, Evans Earn NCBWA Third Team All-America Honors

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami outfielder Derek Williams and left-handed pitcher Rob Evans earned Third Team All-America honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NBCWA), the organization announced Wednesday.

Williams earns his third postseason honor after being named an ABCA/Rawlings Southeast All-Region Second Team selection and earning All-ACC Second Team honors. Williams batted .376 with 80 hits, 15 doubles, 16 home runs and 69 RBI across all of Miami’s 59 games – marking one of three Hurricanes to start in all 59 games this season.

Evans anchored Miami’s rotation throughout the season, finishing 10-3 with a 3.29 ERA over 87.2 innings. The senior southpaw struck out 98 batters, which ranked fifth-most in the ACC, while limiting opponents to a .210 batting average across 15 starts.

The Harlem, N.Y., native became the first Miami starting pitcher to record 10 wins in a season since 2019’s Brian Van Belle and earned All-ACC Second Team recognition after helping lead the Hurricanes back to the NCAA Tournament.

The NCBWA, founded in 1962, is dedicated to the advancement of college baseball and annually recognizes the nation’s top players and coaches through its postseason awards program.
