Arvell Reese is widely expected to be a top-five pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Ohio State product has size and speed to spare, leading to comparisons to Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons.
Reese, of course, isn’t the only player with that last name to make waves in the wild world of professional sports. Angel Reese has become a walking double-double in the WNBA after the Chicago Sky selected her seventh overall in the 2024 draft.
Angel has already set the WNBA record for rebounds per game (13.1 in 2024) and owns the longest double-double streak (15 games) in league history. She’ll be starting a new chapter in her career this season after the Sky dealt her to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for two first-round picks.
So, you may be wondering if Arvell and Angel are related. The answer is no, they are not. Arvell is from Cleveland, Ohio while Angel is from Randallstown, Maryland. There is no connection beyond their last name.
There you have it.
