WNBA star Caitlin Clark will return to her alma mater at Iowa, which will retire her No. 22 women’s basketball jersey on Feb. 2 when the Hawkeyes (9—2) take on USC (10—1).

“I’m forever proud to be a Hawkeye, and Iowa holds a special place in my heart that is bigger than just basketball,” Clark said in a statement on Wednesday. “It means the world to me to receive this honor and to celebrate it with my family, friends, and alumni.”
