Iowa women’s basketball recruit Jenica Lewis commits to Notre Dame
After a hard push by Iowa women’s basketball, in-state 2026 five-star shooting guard prospect Jenica Lewis announced on Thursday night her commitment to Notre Dame. Lewis chose the Irish over fellow finalists Iowa, Oregon, and TCU.
Lewis had long been one of the Hawkeyes’ most sought-after prospects in the 2026 class and she took an official visit to Iowa City on Oct. 25 late in the process. While the Hawkeyes hoped to add the Johnston, Iowa, native as their second 2026 commit alongside fellow five-star McKenna Woliczko, Iowa instead finishes as one of the four finalists.
“From every moment, every game, every dream – it all fits. Committed to Notre Dame,” Lewis wrote in her X announcement.
Lewis is the nation’s No. 22 overall recruit, the No. 4 shooting guard, and the No. 1 prospect in the state of Iowa, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. Per Rivals, Lewis is the nation’s No. 21 player, the No. 5 combo guard, and No. 1 player in the state in 2026, while ESPN rates Lewis as the country’s No. 24 player overall.
At Johnston High School, she was honored as the 2024-25 Iowa MaxPreps High School Girls Basketball Player of the Year after averaging 18 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.5 steals per game on 47% shooting from the field, 35% from 3-point range, and 88% from the free-throw line.
With Lewis off the board, the Hawkeyes and their fans will have their eyes locked in on the upcoming recruiting battle for five-star forward Addison Bjorn, as the program tries to secure at least two of their three high-profile 2026 targets.
Bjorn is scheduled to take her final official visit to Kansas this weekend and has yet to release an intended commitment date.
