Okay, so today I got curious about Angel Reese, you know, the “Bayou Barbie” from LSU who’s now tearing it up in the WNBA. The question popped into my head: what was Angel Reese’s college GPA?
So, my first step, like always, was just firing up my browser. I typed in the usual stuff: “Angel Reese college GPA”, “Angel Reese academic record LSU”, “Angel Reese grades”. Pretty standard stuff to start.
Man, the search results just exploded. Ton of stuff came back, obviously. Loads about her basketball career, the NCAA championship with LSU, that whole thing with Caitlin Clark, her NIL deals which were huge, and of course, her recent move to the WNBA with the Chicago Sky. It’s amazing how much coverage she gets.
Digging a bit deeper, I started filtering through the sports highlights and news articles. I found bits and pieces about her academic path. Like, I learned she started at the University of Maryland, College Park, and she was majoring in communications there. Then, when she transferred to Louisiana State University (LSU), she switched her major to interdisciplinary studies. That was interesting to piece together.
Finding the Actual GPA?
But the specific GPA number? That was a whole different story. Article after article, interview snippets, profiles… nothing mentioned a concrete GPA. It’s like hitting a wall.
You find stuff about her background, like her cousin Jordan Hawkins playing in the NBA and winning a championship with UConn the same year she did. That’s cool trivia. You also find mentions of her taking some time off at one point, talking about needing a mental reset, and her relationship with Coach Mulkey. Sometimes people speculate if academic issues play a part when athletes take breaks, but in Reese’s case, it seemed more about mental well-being from what I could gather.
Here’s what I figured out through this little digging session:
- Started at Maryland (Communications major).
- Transferred to LSU (Interdisciplinary Studies major).
- Won an NCAA Championship.
- Lots of info on her career, NIL, and personal background (like her cousin).
- No specific GPA mentioned anywhere reliably.
Honestly, it makes sense why it’s hard to find. Student academic records, even for famous athletes, are generally private. Think about it, schools have privacy rules (like FERPA in the US) that protect student information like grades. Unless the athlete chooses to share it themselves, or it’s part of some specific academic award mention (like Academic All-American, which often has GPA requirements but doesn’t always state the exact number), that info usually stays confidential.
So, the end result of my search? I learned a lot more about Angel Reese’s college journey and her majors, but the actual GPA number remains elusive. It seems like one of those details that isn’t public knowledge, and frankly, it probably should stay that way unless she decides otherwise. It was an interesting little rabbit hole to go down, though!
