What does it mean?

When Angel Reese transferred from Maryland to LSU, she didn’t “start over.”

She brought the whole brand with her.

She didn’t just change schools. She elevated her media presence, locked in more NIL deals, and used LSU’s spotlight to scale a platform she’d already been building.

Her nickname “Bayou Barbie” isn’t just cute — it’s strategic.
It’s distinct, searchable, and instantly recognizable.

Angel didn’t depend on LSU to define her image.

She showed up as a media company with a jersey on.

How does it apply to YOU?

Most athletes think transferring means rebuilding.

But when your brand is the foundation, your environment becomes a tool — not a reset button.

Your content, your partnerships, your pitch deck…
All of it should follow you wherever you go.

Your NIL leverage isn’t in your stats.
It’s in how memorable you are.

Which is why I built the NIL Playbook Hub to help athletes become platform players — not platform dependents.

What should you do next?

You need more than followers.
You need a foundation.

Once you're tracking your content, brand outreach, and NIL income in one place — it’s game over for 90% of athletes still winging it.

This is how Angel Reese would build if she started today.
