Angel Reese partners with McDonald's on new meal
Angel Reese inked a deal with one of the world's most popular fast-food spots. The former LSU women's basketball star dropped a collaboration with McDonald's on Thursday. The deal marks the company's first national meal partnership with a female athlete.
"The Angel Reese Special" includes a BBQ bacon quarter pounder with cheese featuring a new BBQ sauce, french fries, and a drink choice. Customers can order the special starting February 10.
In a press release, McDonald's highlighted its history of basketball involvement, saying it's "all about elevating the game" for fans and "showcasing the nation's best ballers" through its sponsor title of the All-American Games for high school players.
"McDonald's has always been a big part of my life, from grabbing a McChicken Sandwich as a kid to being named a McDonald's All-American in 2020," Reese said. "I hope the Angel Reese Special inspires young athletes everywhere to never give up on pursuing their dreams."
Reese is entering her second season in the WNBA with the Chicago Sky. She was drafted seventh overall by the team in the 2024 draft. Under head coach Kim Mulkey, Reese spent two seasons in Baton Rouge and was a part of the 2023 National Championship team.
