Caitlin Clark might be the greatest women's college basketball player ever, but she also knows when to cheer for someone else. The Iowa standout, whose NIL value significantly increased to $3.1 million in On3's latest valuation, has long appreciated the achievements of her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.

McCaffery was a basketball and baseball player at the University of Iowa during a six-year spell that ended in 2023 when he left to tackle a coaching career. The pair reportedly started dating in August 2023.

Here are five times the Hawkeyes guard made her love for Connor McCaffery public.
