Angel Reese is riding high after leading the LSU Tigers to their first national championship. Not only has she appeared on The Breakfast Club, ESPN and a number of other outlets, but she has also earned the support of Louisiana native NBA Youngboy and grabbed a new car for her birthday. To put the finishing touches on her national championship celebration, Reese has earned a spot in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue. By doing so, she joins fellow champions like Serena Williams and Venus Williams who have appeared in previous editions of the swimsuit issue.

“Angel Reese is a phenomenal basketball player,” Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editon Editor-In-Chief MJ Day said.

“She’s an All- American and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. While we’re of course here to celebrate her incredible achievements and athleticism, it wouldn’t be an SI Swimsuit moment if we weren’t shining a light on Angel’s achievements off the court.”

After leading the Tigers to the national title, Reese will welcome Hailey Van Lith and Aneesah Morrow to Baton Rouge as the program adds two of the nation’s top transfer athletes to its roster. As a result, LSU will go from being the upstart program of the SEC to the nation’s number-one squad.

This is what our kind of game day looks like! LSU forward and NCAA women’s basketball champion Angel Reese traded in her uniform for a swimsuit and will be featured in this year’s 2023 SI Swimsuit issue.https://t.co/dli5aoaZGk
