Jan Jensen has rounded out her staff for the 2025-26 season
The Iowa Women’s Basketball program announced on Monday that Jasmyn Walker will be joining the team as an assistant coach.
Walker steps in to replace program alum Tania Davis, who departed this offseason. After serving as an assistant at George Washington University last year, Walker brings a fresh perspective to the team. She has also held assistant positions at Purdue Fort Wayne, Butler, Ferris State, and Davenport University.
“I am thrilled to welcome Jas to our staff,” said head coach Jan Jensen in the announcement about Walker’s hiring. “Jas is a talented, young coach whose skills will enhance our team. I’m eager to leverage her experiences and excited for her to become part of our Hawkeye family.”
This offseason, LaSondra Barrett will take on the role of primary recruiter, succeeding Raina Harmon, while Walker will serve as the assistant recruiting director alongside her coaching duties.
As Jensen begins her second year leading the Iowa women’s basketball program, her coaching staff evolves as they prepare for a season with mostly underclassmen. Walker appears to be an excellent addition as Jensen works to establish her own vision for the team, building on Caitlin Clark’s momentum and aiming to make Iowa a long-term home for elite talent.
“I’m honored to join the Iowa women’s basketball coaching staff,” Walker expressed in the announcement. “Having the chance to be part of a program known for its tradition of excellence, national reputation, and significant impact on women’s basketball is truly a privilege. I’m excited to contribute to a community that has inspired many and elevated the game at all levels. I can’t wait to start working with the incredible staff!”
Welcome to Iowa City, Coach! We’re thrilled to have you!
