Caitlin Clark is pretty close with her older brother Blake and younger brother Colin, who all grew up in Des Moines, Iowa.
They were raised by their parents, Brent and Anne Nizzi-Clark. The Clark siblings were involved in sports, with Blake as the backup quarterback for Iowa State football from 2019 to 2022.
Speaking to The Gazette in 2021, Blake opened up about growing up in a household that loved sports.
"We were always involved in sports and at home we were always around sports," Blake said. "We watched sports at night, whether we would go to Drake and watch basketball games, or watch cousins play their basketball games or tournaments. When you’re just around something that much, it's what you do, too."
Caitlin Clark is close with her brother Blake, as per The Gazette. She would often seek his advice on things and talk on a daily basis.
"Even if it's not about football or basketball, we stay in touch a lot," Caitlin said.
'Just seeing what's going on in each other's lives. He's always someone I can lean on, even if it’s about school or just something in life, he’s always there for me."
As for Colin Clark, he graduated high school and was a two-sport athlete for Dowling Catholic High School. Colin played for the track and field team, as well as the basketball team.
