Spear On Women’s College All-Star Game Watch List
February 04, 2025 | Women's Basketball
The Women's College All-Star Game Midseason Player Watch List presented by Herbalife was revealed on Tuesday, and Tennessee's Jewel Spear is among those in consideration for a spot in the contest.
The 2025 version of the event will once again take place during national championship weekend, with the event set for April 5 in Tampa. The postseason all-star showcase, which returned after a nearly 20-year absence last season, will be televised by ESPN2 at 3 p.m. ET.
The watch list, compiled with the help of a nationally renowned panel of media experts, broadcasters and other stakeholders, while also taking into consideration national preseason, midseason and weekly award winners, features dozens of players poised to continue their careers on the professional level. Not an exhaustive list, other players have the opportunity to play their way into consideration as the season progresses.
Spear, a 5-foot-10, fifth-year guard, is averaging 12.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game and is shooting 40 percent from the field, 38 percent from the three-point arc and 85 percent from the free-throw line. She paces the No. 19 Lady Vols (16-5, 4-5 SEC) with 50 three-pointers this season and is among the SEC's leaders, ranking second among league players with 2.63 treys per game. Her shooting percentage from long distance ranks eighth.
A native of The Colony, Texas, Spear eclipsed the 2,000-point mark in her collegiate career, which includes three seasons at Wake Forest and the past two at Tennessee. She helped get herself across that 2K threshold this season with consecutive games of six, six and five three-pointers vs. Texas A&M, Oklahoma and LSU, respectively, to open the SEC season.
Starting 133 of 141 contests during her career, Spear has averaged 14.5 ppg., knocking down 360 total three-pointers in 973 attempts for 37-percent shooting. She has averaged double-figure scoring all five seasons and hit at least 50 treys each year, with a high mark of 93 in 2022-23 and a total of 90 in 2021-22, when she averaged 16.5 and 18.3 ppg., respectively.
The complete watch list can be found here. The final event roster will be announced the week of the event. Participants in the Women's College All-Star Game will be players that have exhausted or will for forego their remaining eligibility.
Last April, 20 of college basketball's top senior standouts converged in Cleveland to rekindle the postseason event that Intersport helped originally launch in 1998. There, five All-Americans, more than a dozen All-Conference standouts and four future WNBA draft picks competed in front of nearly 5,000 fans on the eve of the sport's national championship game.
Tickets for the 2025 event, which will take place at Tampa Prep, located one mile from Amalie Arena, the site of the women's college basketball national championship game, will go on sale starting March 6, with the presale taking place March 5.

Intersport launched the inaugural Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Star Challenge in 1998, which the WBCA operated through 2006. The Chicago-based agency was also a longstanding partner with the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and ESPN to stage the prestigious Women's Tip-Off Classic that annually featured the sport's top programs in high-profile matchups as part of ESPN's early season programming. Today, Intersport continues to operate major men's and women's college basketball events throughout the season, including the CBS Sports Classic, the Elevance Health Women's Fort Myers Tip-Off, Arizona Tip-Off and other major showcase events.
