When you bring up what Baylor Scheierman accomplished as a high school athlete, people gravitate to what he did on the football field. The star quarterback led Aurora High School to a Nebraska State Class C1 State Football championship in 2018. He threw for nearly 4,000 yards and a state record 59 touchdowns.
However, despite attending a high school residing less than two hours from Creighton University, his play on the hardwood hadn't put him on the program's radar.
"We did not watch him in high school," shared Steve Merfeld, the assistant to the head coach for the Creighton University men's basketball team.
