Rickea Jackson of the Los Angeles Sparks appears to be off the market.
Last year, Jackson was selected by the Sparks with the No. 4 overall pick. She had a really impressive rookie season in the WNBA, averaging 13.4 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
Although it won’t be long before she’s back on the court, she took time out of her busy schedule this week to support another Tennessee star.
During the first round of the NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons traded up to select Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. with the 26th pick. When the cameras cut over to his celebration in Charlotte, fans immediately noticed that Jackson was sitting by his side.
There were rumors about Jackson and Pearce dating well before the draft started, but they were never confirmed.

Technically speaking, Jackson has not yet announced that she’s dating Pearce. Most fans, however, are convinced they’re an item.
With that said, it appears fans of Jackson are heartbroken by this development.
“Fell to my knees when I saw Rickea Jackson sitting next to James Pearce Jr on draft night,” one fan said.
“Dude is winning. Maybe the biggest draft gf flex ever,” a second fan commented.
“Lucky dude, got drafted high draft pick to Atlanta and got a gorgeous woman,” another fan wrote.
“James bitch you better sleep w one eye open,” a social media user joked.
Pearce had an impressive run at Tennessee, racking up 71 tackles, 19.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. The Falcons are hopeful he’ll elevate their pass rush as early as this fall. That’s why they traded a 2026 first-round pick just to get him.
As for Pearce’s love life, he seems to be on the right track. At least that’s what we’re assuming after seeing all the comments made on social media.
We’ll see if Jackson shows up to Atlanta’s home games this season.
