<\/p>\n
Jalen Hurts<\/strong>, <\/strong>Angel Reese<\/strong> and Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr.<\/strong> got ‘Next’ … ’cause the star athletes were just named to a prestigious Time magazine list naming the future leaders of the world!<\/p>\n The “100Next” list, compiled by Time, recognizes the “100 emerging leaders from around the world who are shaping the future and defining the next generation of leadership” … from sports stars to scientists.<\/p>\n Hurts — who earned the cover spot on the magazine (there are also versions with singer\/songwriter Kelsea Ballerini<\/strong> and Chef Mory Sacko<\/strong>) — along with Reese, and Acu\u00f1a Jr. are three of seven athletes to grace the list.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 21-year-old Reese led the LSU Tigers women’s basketball team to their first National Championship last year … making history along the way with 34 double-doubles. Hoops great Candace Parker<\/strong> wrote about Angel for Time … and she phrased it perfectly.<\/p>\n “Angel Reese is having more than just a moment. She\u2019s just getting started.”<\/p>\n As for 25-year-old Acuna Jr., the Braves star is the overwhelming favorite for National League MVP … and future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera<\/strong> believes Ronald could be one of the best ever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Ronald? He has a great chance of becoming the best Venezuelan-born baseball player ever. It\u2019s as simple as that,” Venezulean-born Cabrera wrote for Time.<\/p>\n Let that sink in … better than Cabrera. The Cabrera that’s hit 510 home runs, made 12 All-Star teams, won 2 AL MVPs and a Triple Crown in 2012. Oh, he’s also a World Series champ.<\/p>\n With Acuna, Miggy says it’s more than just numbers.<\/p>\n “Ronald is more than just his statistics. He is the kind of player that fans pay to watch play. He can change the game with a single hit, his defense, or his baserunning.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As for Jalen, he’s one of the best football players in the league … and is expected to be in the mix for yet another trip to the Super Bowl this season. Hurts was paid very handsomely in the offseason … signing<\/strong> a $255 million extension.<\/p>\n Peyton Manning<\/strong>, writing for Time, heaped praise on the Eagles QB.<\/p>\n “He\u2019s not celebrating. He doesn\u2019t see it as a reward. He sees it for what it is: the Eagles are paying him for what they expect him to do now,” Manning said<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “He\u2019s a model of how to approach a job. This is where the hard work begins.”<\/p>\n USWNT’s Sophia Smith<\/strong>, American golfer Rose Zhang<\/strong>, Indian cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur<\/strong>, and Spanish soccer star Salma Paralluelo <\/strong>were the other athletes who earned a spot on the list.<\/p>\n Congrats, everyone!<\/p>\n
