Jimmy Clausen’s girlfriend is volleyball player Jess Gysin (Pictures)

Jimmy Clausen may have no chance to step into the spotlight in Carolina as long as Cam Newton is around, but from the look of it he is doing pretty well for himself behind the scenes. If Twitter is any indication, Clausen has been dating volleyball player Jess Gysin for at least a month or so now. As our friends at Busted Coverage pointed out, the two have been hanging out together and documenting it via pictures on Twitter since late May. What began as Clausen tweeting at Gysin and seemingly chasing her around has apparently turned into an official relationship.

Bravo, Jimmy. In addition to being a very good volleyball player, Gysin also happens to be extremely attractive. She was an All-American at USC and now plays professionally. Did I mention she’s good looking? If not for Landry Fields and his new lady friend, Clausen would win first place if “hottest new girlfriend” was a competition.
