sits at the top of the board as the No. 1 overall player and No. 1 libero in North Dakota for the Class of 2028, and the national attention surrounding her is well-earned. From a positional standpoint, Baylor is elite in first contact—she consistently controls serve receive with clean platform angles, absorbs pace with balance, and delivers hittable balls that allow the offense to stay in system. Defensively, she reads attackers early, anticipates off the setter’s release, and covers an exceptional amount of court with efficient footwork and explosive first steps.
Her production backs up the eye test. Baylor has already surpassed 1,000 career digs and broken her school’s digs record, a testament to both her durability and consistency. She has earned national recognition through selection to the UA Next Series, the AVCA Program, and the NCR Regional Team Development Program, validating her game against elite competition. She brings calm and command to the back row, communicates at a high level, and raises the defensive standard for everyone around her.
What truly separates Baylor, though, goes beyond volleyball skill. She is a leader in every sense of the word and a young athlete others should model themselves after. After matches, without being asked, you’ll find her picking up trash in the gym. She celebrates her teammates’ success as much as her own, brings positive energy every day, and plays with genuine gratitude for the opportunity in front of her. Those intangibles—humility, work ethic, and respect for the game—are constant.
College coaches should make it a priority to get to Baylor’s court this season. She isn’t just a libero who wins rallies—she’s a culture-builder who elevates a program on and off the floor. Don’t take my word for it—Just check her out, and just watch. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
