LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne has emerged as a prominent figure in college sports, capitalizing on her growing social media presence to secure lucrative NIL deals. In a recent episode of the “Full Send Podcast,” Dunne finally disclosed the value of the largest check she has ever received for a sponsored post. While she hesitated to reveal the exact amount, she did provide a range. This revelation underscores the remarkable growth of Dunne’s influence, as she commands an impressive following of 7.6 million on TikTok and 4.2 million on Instagram. It’s no wonder that brands are willing to pay a premium to associate themselves with the most renowned female college athlete in the nation.
Having concluded her gymnastics season with the Tigers, Dunne has experienced a meteoric rise in popularity during the offseason. Notably, she had the opportunity to shoot for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition in Puerto Rico earlier this year, fulfilling her dream of becoming a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. In a video shared on the publication’s Instagram page, Dunne expressed her excitement about inspiring young girls who admire her, emphasizing the alignment of their shared goal to empower the younger generation.
Dunne’s successful foray into endorsement deals exemplifies the impact of NIL policies in college athletics, enabling athletes like her to capitalize on their fame. With her senior season still ahead, Dunne’s star is set to shine even brighter in the coming months.
