He has an impressive shooting accuracy of 55.5% from the field and 74.1% from free throws and has recorded 14 double-doubles.
However despite these achievements the NCAA did not select him for the All-Defensive team, leaving fans shocked and disappointed.
Angel, who won the national championship with LSU in 2023, has experienced similar setbacks, including being overlooked and facing criticism.
Some even believe she was unfairly snubbed when Caitlin Clark won the WNBA Rookie of the Year award ahead of her.
Because of her experience and competitive mindset, Angel can help her younger brother stay motivated and fight back as he prepares for the Big 10 quarterfinals on March 14.
