Dunne’s popularity has skyrocketed, and since wrapping up her gymnastics season with the Tigers after finishing fourth in the NCAA Gymnastics Championship, she’s had a pretty full offseason.

«Being a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model is a dream come true,» Dunne said in a video posted on the publication’s Instagram page. «There are a lot of young girls who look up to me, and I feel like a lot of young girls follow Sports Illustrated as well. So our two brands, I think, align because we both want to inspire the younger generation.»
Dunne is really cashing in on her fame, which is exactly why NIL deals were set up for college athletes who have platforms like hers.
