Livvy Dunne has sushi roll named after her at Baton Rouge restaurant

Throughout her college career, LSU Tigers gymnast Livvy Dunne has become one of the most recognizable figures in college sports. That culminated this year with LSU winning a national championship in her senior year.

Clearly, Dunne’s impact has been felt throughout the community and now she’s had a sushi roll named after her at a local Baton Rouge restaurant.

Livvy Dunne posted a picture of the roll on her public Snapchat story when she went to the restaurant to try the roll for herself.

The restaurant is called Drunken Fish Vietnamese Cuisine. It has both Japanese and Vietnamese offerings. Some of the sushi rolls can be very intricate and it appears that ‘The Livvy Roll’ is no different. However, the online menu doesn’t describe it in full.

She also posted a picture of her reaction. In that photo, she wrote, “Guys they’re naming a sushi roll after me at my favorite sushi place.”

Among the different sushi roll offerings are several that make reference to the local Baton Rouge area. That includes the ‘LSU Tiger Roll’ and the ‘Spicy Cajun Roll.’

During her time at LSU, Livvy Dunne has been one of the most marketable athletes in college sports. She has an On3 NIL Valuation of $3.9 million. That’s the highest among any college gymnast and is ranked second in the On3 NIL 100. Only Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has a higher On3 NIL Valuation. She even recently signed a multi-million dollar NIL deal with Passes.

A massive reason why Dunne has become so recognizable has been her presence on social media. There, she has 13.2 million followers across social media platforms.

Livvy Dunne’s coach at LSU, Jay Clark, recently joked about her NIL income.

“NIL was such a foreign thing to us a couple years ago and in many ways it still is. There’s not a whole lot that I could tell you except that we navigated it as we can. The kids are very much in charge of their own entity,” Clark said.

“We’re still very kind of old-fashioned in the way that we go about building our team and the conversations that we have. I don’t want to get involved in their NIL stuff. I want to be their coach. I did joke with Liv one time when she wasn’t doing well. One day, I said, ‘How do you want me to handle this since you make 10 times what I make?’ But beyond that, there’s just not a whole lot of conversation about it.”

Still, even with all the NIL success, sometimes simply having a sushi roll named after you can still be an awesome feeling.
