Former Iowa Hawkeyes George and Claire Kittle were in Iowa City Monday night to cheer on the women’s basketball team and the NCAA Division 1 all-time leading scorer, Caitlin Clark.

The San Francisco 49ers star tight end somehow managed to squeeze into his wife’s former Iowa basketball jersey. Claire played on the team between 2012-2016 — the same time George played football — and the two met as freshmen.

The reason George Kittle’s jersey was so tight last night is because it was one of Claire’s from college pic.twitter.com/DtG8Ws6Y8r

The Kittles’ alma mater advanced to the Sweet Sixteen round in the NCAA tournament defeating West Virginia 65-54. It was Caitlin Clark’s last game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena after she announced plans to enter the WNBA draft in a few weeks. The Kittles posed with the predicted No. 1 pick after the game.

Kittle is the second 49ers star to attend a women’s NCAA tournament game in as many days. Brock Purdy and his wife, Jenna, were at Maples Pavilion Sunday, watching Stanford beat their alma mater Iowa State in OT.
