Sibling Assist: For Angel and Julian Reese, NIL Comes With a Familial Advantage

One stars on the women’s team, another is a promising freshman on the men’s team. Together, their success is surpassing just the hardcourt.

Angel Reese watches out for her younger brother, Julian, the way any older sibling would.
