Over at Instagram, Grayson Herr shared his story a photo of him and his girlfriend, Lucy Olsen, as they attended a concert early last week.
Olsen and Herr often share glimpses of their relationship on social media, showcasing their special moments together.
Herr, standing at 6’2″, plays as a guard for the Trinity Tigers and majors in Mathematical Finance. The pair’s shared passion for basketball and their mutual support for each other’s careers have been evident in their posts and public appearances.
As for Olsen, she and the Hawkeyes had a mixed performance in the 2025 March Madness tournament.

Lucy Olsen Expected to Be a Sleeper Pick for 2025 WNBA Draft
Lucy Olsen, a standout guard from Iowa, is projected to be a second-round pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. After transferring from Villanova, Olsen had an impressive season with the Hawkeyes, averaging 17.9 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game.
Her ability to score at all three levels, combined with her defensive skills, has made her a promising prospect. Despite her strong performance, she is considered a sleeper pick, with analysts suggesting she could be selected around the 18th to 21st spots.
A sleeper pick in a basketball draft refers to a player who is selected in a later round or at a lower position than expected but has the potential to exceed expectations and become a standout performer. These picks are often overlooked during the draft process but can turn out to be hidden gems due to their talent or development over time.
Olsen’s potential landing spots include teams like the Indiana Fever, Los Angeles Sparks, and Golden State Valkyries. Each team could benefit from her scoring ability and versatility, especially as a combo guard. While she may face competition for roster spots, her skill set and work ethic position her as a valuable addition to any team.
