Recently, r/Gymnastics shared an Instagram snap of Olivia Dunne on Reddit with the caption, “big announcement tmr,” spreading curiosity among the fans who have raised a question: “Possible fifth year?” Dunne’s senior year was considered to be the last but amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, she has been offered an opportunity for a fifth year. However, she has not confirmed her comeback as she stated earlier after the historic win of LSU, “It definitely makes me want to come back, but I haven’t quite thought about it completely, I’ve just been focused on the now and winning this national title, so I’ll definitely start thinking about it.”
According to an interview, Dunne made a decision, “I did have a meeting with the coaches today actually, and we did come to a decision. So, stay tuned to find out.” Days after winning the first NCAA title, she expressed her awe over LSU’s historic performance. Olivia Dunne expressed that winning the championship would be a lifelong memory and revealed her desire to return for a fifth year with the LSU Tigers. Olivia has the chance to extend her NCAA journey until April 2025. Dunne’s return would boost her NIL prospects and suppress Bonny’s NIL valuation.

Fan reactions to potential return or brand exposure!
Olivia Dunne’s valuation matching Bronny James’ following his $800,000 decline, has spread havoc among the fans. While some have shown their support for Olivia, others are of a neutral opinion. One of the fans speculated eagerly, sensing her potential return for a fifth year, “I actually have a feeling she is coming back for a fifth year. I feel she wouldve closed the chapter by now if not vs hinting at it as she has.” Another fan buzzed with anticipation, debating on the brand ‘vuoriclothing‘ which is a famous athletic clothing and activewear apparel brand, “Either that or some brand deal.”
