Angel Reese, who hails from Maryland, began her NCAA career with the University of Maryland before transferring to LSU, where she has continued to shine on the court. In the 2023 season, she led the Tigers in scoring and rebounding, averaging 23 points and 15.4 rebounds per game, winning the NCAA championship. Amid her brilliant March Madness showing and subsequent controversy, Reese has recently signed up for something that has melted the hearts of fans across the country. 

Reese, who is known by the nickname ‘Bayou Barbie,’ has announced nearly 20 NIL partnerships, including with national brands such as Bose, Coach, Discord, JanSport, McDonald’s, Outback Steakhouse, Sonic, Xfinity, and Wingstop. But her fans didn’t expect her to show up for this wholesome job.

Aside from her on-court success, Reese has also become a social media sensation, with nearly 2.7 million followers on various social media platforms.

However, this controversy did not seem to have affected Reese’s brand value.

Raising Cane’s partnership is just one of many examples of how college athletes are taking advantage of the new NIL rules to earn money through endorsements and sponsorships. Companies such as Raising Cane’s are also benefiting from these partnerships, as they are able to attract more customers and generate more revenue by associating themselves with popular athletes and teams.
