Dunne is one of the most popular college athletes in the nation, and has over 13 million followers across all social platforms. She also holds a 4.1 million dollar NIL valuation according to On3, which is one of the highest amongst college athletes.
Dunne recently revealed that she is targeting a return for the NCAA Championships semi-finals in an interview with Yahoo Sports, saying:
"I'm doing everything I can to be able to [compete]. I'm not sure what the case will be, but I don't think I'll be able to tumble or do beam. I've been swinging bars again, getting back in the swing of things, shall I say... And yeah, it's been great to be able to move around again."
She added that she was disappointed with the timing of the injury, saying:
"It sucks because it's the last part of our season, but I am getting better and we're getting stronger day by day. That's all I can ask for honestly."
Olivia Dunne will be looking to add more silverware to her cabinet as the Tigers look to grab the national crown once again.
