"Chipotle got the whole team right," Watkins' caption read.

Fans immediately reacted to the news, replying that their bowls never look like the one Watkins had in the post. Here are some of their reactions.

Others thought about their shared similarities with Watkins in terms of liking Chipotle as well as thinking a special meal named after the USC star could be in the works.

"She loves chipotle, I love chipotle. I think we'd be good together," a fan said.

"We gettin the juju meal," one fan proclaimed.

"I ain't NEVER got a bowl that high from them! They put the JUJU bun on top of hers!! That's why Cava better!!!" a fan said.

JuJu Watkins recently signed NIL deal with State Farm

State Farm made history in 2023 when they signed Caitlin Clark to an NIL deal, making her the first NCAA player to sign an endorsement deal with the comoany. JuJu Watkins became the next to achieve that feat.

She signed the deal on Nov. 25, with State Farm signing both collegiate and professional players to endorsement deals. Watkins currently stands as the lone NCAA talent.

“State Farm is such an iconic brand and just draws the attention of so many people because it’s such a well-known brand and well-respected. So to have State Farm be partners with the W and be a part of that State Farm family, I think it just automatically grows the game, just to see that big brands are really invested in women’s sports,” Watkins told ClutchPoints in an exclusive interview.

Watkins next prepares for No. 5 USC's matchup against Fresno State at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California, on Dec. 10 at 9 p.m. ET.
