Angel Reese grew up in Randallstown, Maryland, playing basketball along with her younger brother, Julian. Their mom, Angel, had played Division I college basketball at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where in her final collegiate season, she finished third in the nation in rebounding and both Angel and Julian went on to play Division I basketball as well.
After two seasons at Maryland, Angel Reese transferred to Louisiana State University and in her first season, she was named a first-team All-American and NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player as she helped the Tigers win their first national title in women’s basketball.
Reese was drafted seventh overall by the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA Draft. In her first two seasons in the league, she became the only player in WNBA history to average 12+ rebounds per game in multiple seasons. Before her third season in the WNBA, Reese was traded to the Atlanta Dream, where she set numerous WNBA records in her first season with the Dream, including the single-game and the single-season rebounding record.
Having established herself as the most prolific rebounder in WNBA history after her first 100 games, Reese made her world championship debut with Team USA at the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.
Reese, who was first dubbed the “Bayou Barbie” in college while at LSU for her glamorous looks off the court, and at the 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend, Mattel launched a line of Angel Reese Signature Barbies that featured Reese’s signature look along with a basketball. Reese noted that having her own Barbie could be an inspiration for young girls. "I’m really excited to be able to take it worldwide, everywhere we go, and continue to inspire so many young girls," Reese said.
