Angel Reese has revealed she is at times ‘overwhelmed’ with the whirlwind summer which followed LSU’s national title win vs. Iowa.
Reese scored 15 points in the 102-85 blowout of the Hawkeyes as the Lady Tigers won the school’s first-ever NCAA women’s basketball championship.
Since, she has capitalized on the media attention gained from the coverage of her taunting of Caitlin Clark; appearing in Sports Illustrated and signed an NIL deal with Baton Rouge Mercedes Benz, among others.
Reese told People her newfound fame has been largely a positive experience.
‘It’s a blessing, honestly. I’ve kind of embraced it. People are watching me,’ she said. ‘I mean, it’s a fast life I’m living. I think I have to mature quickly.

With fame come obligations and a reality which differs to that of the lay person. Now, Reese is no longer able to enjoy the life of a typical college student.
‘I don’t party, I don’t date, I’m just living my life,’ she said. ‘I’m not really on campus much just because of my security work reasons. So I stay at my apartment and my teammates come over and we’ll eat.
‘We’ll cook or we’ll do whatever, have fun, watch movies, listen to music, do whatever. TikTok.’
Reese has 2.1million followers on the platform and most recently posted a video with female rapper, Latto.
She uploaded a video with Grizzlies star Ja Morant on the day of LSU’s championship parade through Baton Rouge.

Amid the chaos which occasionally engulfs her life, Reese has found solace in her faith.
‘I’ve been through so many things, and I think that the only way I’m getting through these things is just taking time with God and giving him his time. That’s something I’ve emphasized this year.’
Reese joined fellow LSU student-athlete Olivia Dunne at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party in Manhattan last month. Both appeared in the magazine. Reese shot in Los Angeles while Dunn was snapped in the Dominican Republic.
