Everyone had that one Nebraska volleyball duo they were obsessed with—yep, Harper Murray and former head coach John Cook were straight-up the main characters of Huskers TikTok. But then boom—Cook hung up his coaching whistle over two months ago, saying goodbye to the Devaney Center during Dani Busboom Kelly’s big welcome bash. It was all the feels, but trust Coach Cook to sneak in a little shade with his goodbye. “Now Harper can’t force me into TikToks anymore,” he teased. Oh, sweet summer child. He didn’t know his influencer break would be shorter than a timeout in the fifth set. Fast forward to March—and surprise! Harper Murray reeled him right back in.
With some tag-team help from ex-Husker turned pro baller, Ally Batenhorst, they managed to get Cook back on the TikTok scene. This time, though? It wasn’t on Cook’s own mega-followed account (110K strong, NBD). Nope—it was Ally’s page that served as the comeback runway. The three of them—Murray, Batenhorst, and their honorary dance dad—gave their best shot at a trending TikTok dance, complete with giggles, botched moves, and major “bestie” vibes. Batenhorst even dropped a cheeky caption, “We’re still friends after I transferred.” And now, just a few days later, Nebraska’s Harper Murray drops a playful confession about tapping into John Cook’s fame once more.
Harper Murray hopped on TikTok a few days ago with none other than her fave partner-in-TikTok-crime—John Cook! Yep, the iconic Nebraska duo reunited for a little lip-sync magic, and it was everything fans didn’t know they needed. The two jumped on a trending audio, and Harper kicked things off with a grin and a bold “You’re not seeing double.” Then Cook, smooth as ever, delivered the follow-up with “Everyone loves us,” and Harper sealed the deal by throwing in “You’re seeing trouble.” Classic.
But the cherry on top? That cheeky caption Harper dropped: “using his clout while I can” with a playful tag to Nebraska Volleyball. She knows she’s stirring the pot just right and doing it with a sparkle. TikTok fam can’t get enough—this troublemaking duo’s still got it.
