A football player on the Colorado Buffaloes roster might be in some trouble with Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend after shooting his shot at the Indiana Fever star with scant regard for the fact that she’s taken.

Clark, who was drafted as the No. 1 overall pick in April, is one of the most popular athletes in the United States. That was already the case while she was in college as she toppled some impressive records, including scoring the most points ever for both men’s and women’s basketball.

The guard is known to be dating former Iowa basketball player Connor McCaffery, who now works for the Indiana Pacers. They have been together for over a year and celebrated their 12-month anniversary in April.

None of that seemed to matter to a certain CU player, however, as he made a pass at Clark in a video in which he asked her to give him a call.

“We’re back with the word of the day again?” he’s heard asking the Buffs video personnel in the clip below.

“Let’s go with Fever. My girl Caitlin Clark is balling. She’s doing a great job. I look up to her and all she’s done for the sport. And if she sees this, I’m a great guy. I have the best intentions. Call me.”

Fans Were Joking About Caitlin Clark’s BF After The CU Player Shot His Shot

Of course, Connor’s name came up almost immediately.

It doesn’t appear that the player thought this one through. It’s not like Caitlin Clark would even consider calling him, so why risk it?

Still, Connor McCaffery might have a full plate right now, as he is being attacked on social media for stating his political affiliation earlier this week.
