One of LSU's two barrier-breaking female athletes made her way to Omaha Monday for Tiger Baseball's College World Series matchup against #1 Wake Forest.
Gymnast Olivia Dunne is already a massive social media star and one of the biggest NIL earners in all of college sports. So it's not surprising that her appearance at the game drew a crowd.
Dunne was caught by ESPN's cameras signing an autograph in the fourth inning of the Tigers' 3-2 loss to the Demon Deacons.
She's only a month removed from her debut appearance in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, one of only two college athletes to receive the honor. (The other was also this year - fellow LSU athlete Angel Reese.)
“Livvy is harnessing this newfound power and turning it into a long-term, sustainable brand, growing the sport of collegiate gymnastics and setting an example for athletes of the future of what they are also capable of accomplishing outside of the competitive arena,” SI Swim editor-in-chief MJ Day said of the social media and sports star's sun-drenched photo shoot.
“In a world where women are constantly being forced to pick a lane, Livvy is in all of them, winning. We couldn’t be more excited to feature her on the pages of our 2023 issue.”
