Ally Batenhorst, whether she is sporting it for the Huskers or the Trojans, is always sure to cause a ripple. In her last year with Nebraska, she performed well, averaging 2.25 kills per set, 52 blocks, and 54 digs. She continued the same form when she was transferred to the Trojans, where she made 3.77 kills per set with .239 hitting efficiency. With 354 kills under her belt this season (as of November 2024), Ally showed that her game is unstoppable.
Even though the Trojans’ season ended with a loss to the Texas Longhorns, Ally Batenhorst’s ready to head back home to Nebraska. That place isn’t just about dramatic rock formations—it’s where her heart truly lies, especially with her loved ones close by. And, let’s be real, a TikTok recently made the whole situation even spicier.
Ally Batenhorst hit up TikTok on December 15, sharing a video that had everyone talking. Decked out in a black jacket and sweatpants, she was vibing hard to Justin Bieber’s Mistletoe, showing off her dance moves on the streets at night. But what was the highlight of the show? She wasn’t dancing solo! In the background, a guy in his black jacket and sweatpants was twinning with Ally, matching her moves step by step.

At the end of the video, they were both just moving their bodies in any funny way they could think of. People rushed to the comment section, trying to guess who this man could be. Some suggested he could be Ally Batenhorst’s ‘Celtics boyfriend.’ The speculation reached a high level as everyone sought to join the dots!

A user quickly followed the post with this comment: “Face reveal when? Jk we all know who it is, this is so cute!” Although the user obviously wanted to see the face, it appears that they already had a good guess who the man in the background could be—Baylor Scheierman, the rumored NBA boyfriend. Baylor was born and raised in Hastings, Nebraska, and like any other kid from a small town, he was brought up in farm-like settings and in close-knit homes. His love for basketball began with a spark after watching “The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend,” a movie about Pete Maravich’s biography. Known as Pistol Pete, Maravich’s iconic moves on the court left Baylor in awe, and from then on, basketball became more than just a sport—it was a dream.
Over time, Baylor embraced the admiration for Maravich’s style, from his tall, lanky build to his signature wool socks and unforgettable hairstyle. Fans soon started seeing glimpses of Maravich in Baylor’s game, recognizing the similarities that made him stand out. But that wasn’t the end of TikTok’s buzz—others quickly joined in with their own takes, sharing theories, support, and excitement for Ally Batenhorst and her mysterious dance partner.
What’s your perspective on:
Is Ally Batenhorst's mystery dance partner really Baylor Scheierman, or is it someone else entirely?

Ally Batenhorst leaves fans wondering!
Another user, none other than Ally Batenhorst’s former teammate, Harper Murray, jumped into the comments with just a simple “heheh.” From her reaction, it seems she knows something’s brewing behind the scenes, adding even more fuel to the speculation. On the same note, another fan encouraged Ally to attend Nebraska’s Final Four game after they secured their spot by beating Wisconsin 26-24, 25-17, 25-21. The comment read, “You should go to Nebraska’s Final Four!!!!” What better way for Ally to show her support than being present there in the stadium, cheering her heart out for her team during the biggest match of the season?
Back to the video, another user couldn’t help but ask, “Who’s the guy in the background?” With comments like, “Baylor we know that’s you,” it’s hard not to believe it’s Baylor. In September 2023, Ally Batenhorst and Baylor Scheierman officially started dating, and the two have been inseparable ever since. They’ve been to each other’s games, clapping with all their hearts and showing unwavering support. Their journey hasn’t been easy, though. In 2022, Baylor had the option to choose the Nebraska Huskers as his college basketball team in the transfer portal, but he ultimately chose Creighton.

That didn’t stop him from making waves in Lincoln, though. In December of that year, Baylor faced the Huskers and led his team with 24 points, leaving Big Red fans in awe. After news of his relationship with Ally went public, the backlash was tough, but Baylor remained by her side, cheering for her through every match. Along with Ally’s sisters, he stayed close to the sidelines, showing his love and support loud and clear.
Later, Baylor took his praise even further, commenting, “They’re [Nebraska volleyball] so elite at what they do. Being a college athlete and trying to get to that level, I have a lot of respect for them and how they approach every day and approach the games.” Ally returned the love by showing up at his matches alongside his mom, Shannon. On the same note, another user chimed in with, “Ma’am is that Baylor???” The question left everyone wondering—could it be Baylor? Or is it not Baylor? Let us know in the comments!
