Reese has become well-known as a force to be reckoned with in college basketball after propelling the LSU Tigers to their first-ever NCAA title victory over Iowa last season.

Since the momentous win, the 21-year-old has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels of fame thanks to the NCAA's NIL policy, becoming one of the most sought-after and highest-paid athletes in the nation.

In her most recent honor, Reese was named as one of Glamour Magazine's College Women of the Year.
