LSU star Angel Reese's NIL valuation rises yet again

Angel Reese may not have been eligible for the WNBA draft this season, but leading LSU to its first national title has proved plenty lucrative for the women's basketball forward.

She's one of the highest-earning athletes in the country in name, image and likeness deals, and her valuation rose again this week by $249,000, according to On3.

Reese's NIL valuation is $1.6 million, an increase of 27% in the last 10 weeks since she rose to national prominence during the NCAA Tournament.

She ranks fifth among college athletes in terms of her valuation, sitting behind only Bronny James, fellow LSU athlete Livvy Dunne, Arch Manning and Caleb Williams.

With more NIL deals we can keep track of, Reese is showing what's possible when an athlete takes advantage of the platform provided by college sports and social media to build their brand.
