The accolades are just continuing to pile up over the offseason for [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag].
The LSU basketball star has seen her profile skyrocket since leading the Tigers to a national title this spring. She’s become one of the highest-earning NIL athletes in the country, and on Sunday, she was named the BET Sportswoman of the Year.
Reese averaged 23 points and 15.4 rebounds this season, leading the nation with 34 double-doubles. She was also named a First-Team All-American.
Unfortunately, Reese wasn’t able to accept the award in-person due to her prior obligations competing with the U.S. Women’s National Team at the FIBA AmeriCup.
Congratulations @Reese10Angel! Keep raising the bar! https://t.co/ey2i18j007

She was joined by former LSU athletes [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag] and [autotag]Sha’Carri Richardson[/autotag] as finalists.
Reese will be back in the purple and gold again this winter, and she’ll be joined by an absolutely loaded roster that will likely be the preseason favorite to repeat as champions.
