LSU star Angel Reese's Instagram Story

UCLA's Kiki Rice was the first college athlete to sign with the Jordan Brand in October 2022. Looking at Angel Reese's rise and popularity in college basketball circles, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the NCAA champion join Rice as Jordan Brand's second NIL athlete.

Reese had a memorable 2023 season. Along with winning March Madness and the Most Outstanding Player, she was Unanimous First-Team All-American, First-Team All-SEC, First-Team All-Big Ten and SEC All-Defensive Team Member.

Here college basketball success followed up with a call-up to the USA Women's 2023 FIBA World Cup roster. It would only be fitting if Reese ends up signing a deal with the Jordan Brand after such a successful run.

Angel Reese aims to succeed in the world of business too

Angel Reese is destined for greatness on the court. However, the 21-year-old is also aiming to thrive in the business world. Reese wasted no time in hiking her sponsorship deal prices after winning the NCAA tournament as the best player on the winning team.

Her on-court antics also gained her tremendous popularity, something that matters for sponsors, helping them market their athletes. Reese has reportedly earned NIL deals worth $1.3 million. Her current deals include brands such as Wingstop, McDonald's, Raising Cane's, Amazon, Bose, Xfinity, Outback Steakhouse and more.

Reese hinted at her desire to succeed in the business world when she claimed she was in no rush to make it to the WNBA. Her reason was as simple as it could be when Reese stated that she preferred staying in college longer as she was already earning more than some players in the league.

Considering how she's handled her business thus far, it won't be surprising to see Reese make the most of being in the WNBA and finding deals that could make great profits for her off the court.
