The Ravens had a few special guests in the building for their "Sunday Night Football" matchup with the undefeated Bills, but few are more high-profile when Chicago Sky star Angel Reese
Reese was on the field at M&T Bank Stadium ahead of the AFC showdown, going back to her Maryland roots to watch Lamar Jackson and the Ravens play up-close.

Reese saw her WNBA rookie season with the Sky end prematurely three weeks ago when she suffered a wrist injury in a win over the Sparks. Chicago subsequently fell out of playoff contention, but the future is bright for both the franchise and Reese herself.
With a long journey until her second season gets underway, Reese is evidently making the rounds near her hometown. Here's what you need to know about where she's from.

Where is Angel Reese from?
Reese made her name on the national stage in Baton Rouge, La., but she is originally from Maryland.
The 22-year-old was born in Randallstown in Baltimore County, and she attended Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore. Reese started her college career at the University of Maryland, so she has been tied to Maryland throughout her life.
Reese's mother played basketball at UMBC in Baltimore County, while her brother, Julian, is currently playing basketball at Maryland.
Reese has made her mark in Baton Rouge and now Chicago, but her footprint is very much in the Baltimore area — and she hasn't forgotten about her hometown Ravens.
Is Angel Reese a Ravens fan?
Reese is a Ravens fan, and she received a custom Ravens jersey at the game on Sunday night.

While parts of Maryland might be split between the Ravens and Commanders, who both play in the state, Reese made it clear where her allegiance stands in August:

Reese tweeted her support for the Ravens when they faced the Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs last season, and she proudly said, "Go flock!" in the video posted by the Ravens on Sunday night.

Did Angel Reese play for Maryland?
Reese started her college basketball career at Maryland before transferring to LSU.
The highly-touted recruit started only four games during her freshman season with the Terrapins, but she broke out in a major way as a sophomore with 17.8 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. Reese earned All-American honors and made her move to the SEC after the season.
The Reese brand is still strong at Maryland with her brother, Julian, preparing for his senior season at the school.
