BUHLER, Kan. — Buhler High School senior Jeffrey Neill announced on Sunday afternoon that he has committed to play baseball at HutchCC for the 2024-25 school year.
Neill is a three-sport student-athlete at Buhler High School, playing football, basketball, and baseball.
He is the son of Crusaders baseball coach John Neill, and younger brother of current Blue Dragon baseball player, Bradley Neill.
As a junior, Neill was a first team all-state selection by the Kansas Association of Baseball Coaches as a middle infielder, as well as first team pitcher and second team short stop on the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League Division III teams.
Neill hit .405 at the plate this past spring, going 30-for-74 with 11 doubles, two triples and one home run. He threw 42 1/3 innings on the mound, while striking out 20 and walking eight, with a 4.63 ERA.
The Crusaders finished 15-7 in the spring of 2023 and fell to McPherson in the regional championship game.
