When is Caitlin Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes jersey retirement? Date and more details explored

Caitlin Clark has received the ultimate honor from her alma mater, the Iowa Hawkeyes. Just one year after leaving campus as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft, the point guard will have his jersey retired.

Iowa announced they will retire her jersey on Feb. 2, 2025.

It didn't take long before the fans noticed the date, as the South Carolina Gamecocks will also retire A'Ja Wilson's jersey that day. However, the date is a nod to Clark's No. 22 jersey.

The jersey ceremony will take place during a nationally televised game vs. USC on FOX at 1:30 pm (ET).

“Caitlin Clark has not only redefined excellence on the court but has also inspired countless young athletes to pursue their dreams with passion and determination,” said Beth Goetz, Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie, Iowa's Director of Athletics Chair, in a statement announcing the jersey retirement.

“Her remarkable achievements have left an indelible mark on the University of Iowa and the world of women’s basketball. Retiring her number is a testament to her extraordinary contributions and a celebration of her legacy that will continue to inspire future generations. Hawkeye fans are eager to say thank you for so many incredible moments.”

Clark had a senior season for the ages. With 3,951 career points, she broke Kelsey Plum's record (3,527 points) and became the all-time women's NCAA DI leading scorer. She also surpassed Lynette Woodward (3,649 points) for the major college scoring record and topped LSU's Pete Maravich (3,667 points) for most career points in DI history for both men and women.

Stephanie White has high hopes for Caitlin Clark

Clark has been the most talked-about female athlete this year, and she's just getting started.

She has already started working with the new Indiana Fever coach, Stephanie White and she has been familiar with her game for some time now.

"I spoke with Caitlin last night, and I think just overall excitement," White said on Nov.1. "I have been watching Caitlin play since she was an eighth grader... and just an exciting time for me. Very excited to be working with her and with this young team. She just wants to play, she just wants to win. And I look forward to coaching players like that."

The bar is relatively high for Caitlin Clark in her second season as a pro. But given how he fared in her maiden campaign, there's no reason to believe she won't get even better in year two.
