Jimmer Fredette surprises his girlfriend with an engagement ring

All the female BYU fans who held up “Marry Me, Jimmer” signs at the Marriott Center last season should prepare to be disappointed: Jimmer Fredette is officially off the market for good.

The Sacramento Kings lottery pick announced to the world Friday night on Twitter that he and longtime girlfriend Whitney Wonnacott are engaged. Wonnacott, a native of Chatfield, Colo., is a senior at BYU and a member of the school’s cheerleading team.

The engagement completes a wildly successful year for Fredette during which he emerged from national obscurity to become a basketball icon. He led BYU to the Sweet 16, swept the major national college player of the year awards and achieved a lifelong dream when the Sacramento Kings selected him with the 10th pick in the NBA draft.

As each 40-point scoring barrage and impossibly long 3-pointer brought Fredette more attention last winter, Wonnacott received a firsthand glimpse of the pros and cons of fame. She was by Fredette’s side at the ESPY Awards and on NBA Draft Night, but she also endured autograph seekers interrupting their dinner dates and opposing fans attempting to distract her boyfriend by taunting her in the days leading up to big games.

Both Fredette and Wonnacott are back in Provo right now, the future bride preparing for the start of classes at BYU on Monday and the future groom working out daily while waiting for the NBA lockout to end. There’s no word on a date for the wedding yet, but rest assured there will be some female admirers of Fredette wincing with regret whenever he does walk down the aisle.

    Football News: Ameobi targeting European place

    Shola Ameobi set his sights on Europe after rescuing Newcastle from the brink of derby despair with a precious equaliser against Sunderland. The 30-year-old Geordie came off the bench to snatch a 1-1 draw with his injury time strike just when it looked as though the 10-man visitors were about to end their 12-year wait for a win on Tyneside. It was Ameobi’s seventh goal against the Black Cats, but arguably his most important as it secured a point which [...]

    Lionel Messi is encouraging Sergio Aguero to consider a move back to Spain this summer – and says he’d have no issues if he joined Real Madrid. Aguero is being linked with a big-money switch to the Bernabeu this summer, but City boss Roberto Mancini has been quick to deny the rumours which suggest a swap involving Gonzalo Higuain. The Argentina international, who has scored 21 goals for the Premier League leaders this season, is also being urged to move [...]

United made it 22 points from the last 24 on offer with a 3-1 victory at White Hart Lane on Sunday, their toughest fixture on paper until their April 30 showdown with Manchester City, who have a two-point cushion at the top of the table. Sir Alex Ferguson’s men appear to have the easier build-up to what could well be a title [...]

The Gunners boss was left crestfallen in the San Siro a fortnight ago, having witnessed his side taken apart by the Rossoneri, as a stunning opener from former Tottenham midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng was followed by a brace by ex-Manchester City striker Robinho before a late penalty by Zlatan Ibrahimovic effectively ended the tie as a contest. After what [...]
