After revealing Iowa was among her final five schools, five-star recruit Jenica Lewis locked in an official visit date with the Hawkeyes this fall.
Per Dushawn London of 247Sports, Lewis will take her official visit to Iowa on Oct. 24. That’s the weekend of Iowa football’s “blackout” contest against Minnesota on Family Weekend.
Along with Iowa, Lewis’ five finalists include North Carolina, Notre Dame, Oregon and TCU. Lewis already took an official visit to Oregon and will visit North Carolina on Aug. 31, TCU on Sept. 12 and Notre Dame on Oct. 10.
An in-state star, the 5-foot-10 guard averaged 18.0 points per game and shot 47% while leading Johnston to Iowa’s Class 5A state title this past season.
Lewis is a five-star recruit in the 247Sports composite rankings and is the top player from the state of Iowa. ESPN ranks Lewis as the nation’s No. 19 overall recruit in the 2026 class.
Lewis took an unofficial visit to Iowa City last February for Caitlin Clark’s jersey retirement when Iowa upset then-No. 4 USC and JuJu Watkins among a group of other star-studded recruits.
Iowa has been involved in Lewis’ recruitment for years, offering the in-state standout all the way back in June of 2021. As Iowa looks to continue its position among women’s basketball’s elite, landing a talent like Lewis would go a long way toward cementing that remains the case.
Here’s a look at some of Lewis’ highlights:
