Jackson, a native of Janesville, Wisconsin, was tops on the team with a 2.65 earned run average and 79 strikeouts, which ranks tied for the 14th best single-season mark in team history. The righthander appeared in 12 games and made 11 starts en route to a 7-1 record, while also holding teams to 20 earned runs and a .216 opponent batting average with just 18 walks issued. Jackson topped the Pack with 68.0 innings pitched, which is the 13th most in a season in program history. Two of his best outings in 2026 came against the two teams who played for the national championship in Oklahoma as he struck out nine batters against South Mountain Community College in Arizona on March 18 and duplicated that in the NJCAA Division II World Series quarterfinals against Pearl River Community College on May 26. Jackson currently ranks tied for 21st all-time with 95 strikeouts at Madison College.

Novinska, a Verona, Wisconsin, native, led the WolfPack in most offensive categories this past spring. Over 56 games, his .358 batting average was third on the team, while he was tops with 67 hits and 62 runs, ranking him with the 22nd and fifth best seasons in those categories, respectively. Novinska was also atop the leaderboard in extra base hits with 27 total, including eight home runs, 15 doubles, and four triples. He tied for second on the team with 53 runs batted in and a dozen stolen bases. During the year, Novinska produced four games with three hits, three outings with three runs scored, and two contests with four RBI. Defensively, he recorded 374 put outs and 27 assists, committing just two errors for a .995 fielding percentage as he split time behind the plate and in centerfield. Novinska also earned enough votes to receive a NJCAA All-American nomination. He will exit Madison College tied for third in career runs batted in with 101, sixth in all-time runs scored at 106, tied for 17th in hits with 119, tied for eight in career home runs at 16, tied for ninth in all-time triples with six, and tied for 11th with 25 career doubles.

"Both Broden and Nate are well deserving of their honors as NJCAA All-Americans," stated WolfPack head baseball coach Mike Davenport. "They both epitomize what we hope players can do in our program as they improved significantly from their first steps on campus to the completion of their second year."
