The 2024 WNBA Draft is probably one of the most anticipated drafts in recent memory. The incoming rookie class is loaded with talent, including Caitlin Clark, the presumed No. 1 pick. It also includes another baller who more people need to cause a ruckus over — Jake from State Farm.
Since the announcement of Caitlin Clark’s NIL deal with State Farm, Jake has been seen in commercials like this one with Caitlin. He’s even shown up to watch her break the all-time NCAA scoring record. So, it makes all the sense in the world that Jake would be there for another moment in Caitlin’s career, the 2024 WNBA Draft.
Per Jacob Feldman at Sportico, Jake and TV personality Taylor Rooks are expected to be among the people who will congratulate Caitlin after she is drafted. State Farm has also said that it will highlight her career achievements in Times Square and send her a congratulatory message after she is drafted. The company is even partnering with ESPN to create a rolling Instagram story as more first-round picks are announced.
