Overall, it will be Kylie Feuerbach's sixth year of college. She played her freshman season with the Iowa State Cyclones before joining Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes. Her extended college ball career stems from the extra COVID year eligibility rule and a medical redshirt year. Feuerbach missed the 2022-23 season due to a knee injury.

The defensive guard will be coming off her best CBB year. She averaged career-highs in multiple major statistical categories behind 6.4 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals. She also attempted 3.7 3-point attempts per game.

Jan Jensen is thrilled to have the 3&D guard back in the lineup and believes that her defense will make her presence known in the Big Ten conference next year.

"We are thrilled to have Kylie return for an extra season," Jensen said in a release. "She is a tremendous teammate above all and will give us some veteran leadership for next year. She will return as one of the top defenders in the Big Ten."
