[autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] has one of the biggest NIL profiles in college sports, and she’s using that opportunity to give back to her teammates.
Ahead of Thursday night’s game against No. 1 South Carolina, in which LSU ultimately fell short in heartbreaking fashion after leading for most of the game, Reese gifted here entire team a set of Beats headphones as part of an NIL deal with the company.
She shared the moment the team found out in a video on TikTok.
We have a big game tomorrow, and keeping us focused and just staying together as a team,” Reese said in the clip. “Talent wins games, but teamwork wins championships. So, here’s something to keep us all locked in to push forward for the rest of this season, one game at a time.”
@angelreese10 Glad I was able to do this for my LSU family! Looking forward to the future with @Beats by Dre #geauxtigers 💛💜
The team let out an audible gasp when they realized what the gifts were, followed by cheers from the team and staff. The gift also featured a card reminding the players that teamwork wins championships.
While the Tigers ultimately fell short on Thursday night, they’ll hope gestures like this keep camaraderie high as we approach the most important part of the season.
