CONFIRMED: “SHE’S IN” — LSU Tigers’ Aneesah Morrow Reaches Agreement on Two-Year, $88.9 Million Deal to Finish What She Started
In a headline-grabbing move that has sent shockwaves through the world of women’s college basketball, star forward Aneesah Morrow has officially agreed to a stunning two-year deal with the LSU Tigers valued at a maximum of $88.9 million. The agreement, confirmed earlier today, keeps one of the game’s brightest talents in Baton Rouge and signals LSU’s full commitment to maintaining its championship pedigree. With the deal now finalized, Morrow is set to finish what she started and lead the Tigers through what many believe will be a historic season.
Morrow’s return comes at a critical time for LSU, which is looking to reload after key departures and a tough postseason finish last year. The 6-foot-1 forward, known for her physical dominance, scoring consistency, and relentless rebounding, had been the subject of speculation all offseason. Many believed she would declare for the WNBA or pursue opportunities overseas. Instead, Morrow chose to double down on her collegiate career — and her loyalty to LSU. Her decision to stay and this unprecedented financial agreement reflect both her belief in the Tigers’ program and the new power of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities in college sports.
The two-year deal is believed to be the largest NIL-based agreement in women’s basketball history. While exact breakdowns of the contract have not been disclosed, sources close to the negotiation reveal that it includes a mix of NIL deals, brand endorsements, performance bonuses, and media incentives that elevate the deal to its reported $88.9 million max value. LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward praised the deal in a press release, stating, “This agreement is more than just about money — it’s a statement about our commitment to supporting female athletes at the highest level. Aneesah represents excellence both on and off the court, and we’re proud she’s chosen to finish her journey here.”
Morrow’s impact on the court has been nothing short of phenomenal. Since transferring to LSU from DePaul, she has averaged 18.5 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, becoming a cornerstone of the Tigers’ offense and a defensive anchor. Her athleticism, high basketball IQ, and unmatched work ethic have made her a fan favorite and a locker room leader. With her back in the lineup, LSU instantly returns to national title contention. Head coach Kim Mulkey called her return “a championship decision,” adding, “Aneesah’s not just coming back to play — she’s coming back to win it all.”
The agreement also underscores the dramatic evolution of women’s sports and the rise of female athletes as marketing powerhouses. Morrow’s popularity on social media, her growing national profile, and her alignment with brands committed to elevating women’s athletics have all contributed to her rising value. This deal is expected to open the door for more high-profile agreements across women’s college sports, as athletes continue to gain greater control over their brands and earning potential. Analysts predict Morrow’s move could set a new benchmark for future NIL negotiations.
As for Morrow, her focus remains firmly on the court and the championship ahead. In a short statement following the announcement, she said, “I’m grateful, I’m blessed, and I’m locked in. LSU is home, and I’ve got unfinished business here. Let’s work.” With the season ahead and expectations at an all-time high, the LSU Tigers — led by Aneesah Morrow — are preparing for one of the most anticipated campaigns in college basketball history. And with nearly $89 million now backing her journey, Morrow is not just making headlines — she’s making history.
