Boise State volleyball player Nora Hayd is back in the spotlight after the team published its beach volleyball yearbook ahead of the 2026 season. Fans shared photos online, renewing interest in the athlete whose season headshot went viral two years ago.
Hayd has said she is comfortable with the “goth” label but does not use it all the time. She studies visual arts at Boise State, and the article says her makeup, which can take more than an hour, is part of her daily routine rather than being reserved for matches or team photos.
Then-Boise State head coach Allison Voigt recalled to Today that Hayd was puzzled by an increase in Instagram followers before Voigt told her she was going viral.
