Livvy Dunne posts picture with Nick Saban, ESPN College GameDay crew
LSU gymnastics star Livvy Dunne captured some moments from her time on the set of ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday. Dunne and her boyfriend, MLB pitcher Paul Skenes, were guest pickers on the show ahead of a football game against Alabama.
Dunne made a post on Instagram a couple of days later with pictures from both the show and the game. That included a photo of Dunne posing with analyst Rece Davis and former Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban. You can view the photos below.
Dunne poked fun at Saban on the show when she picked Vanderbilt to beat South Carolina. As she made the pick, she noted that Saban previously said that Vanderbilt wasn’t a tough place to play before Alabama lost to the Commodores this season.
“Someone once said that Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC,” Dunne said while looking at Saban. “But not today. I’m going with Vanderbilt.”
The All-American gymnast is coming off a national championship last season and chose to run it back for one more go-round with the Tigers. LSU opens up the gymnastics season on Jan. 3 with a meet against Iowa State.

Livvy Dunne inks NIL deal with Jake Paul’s W men’s care brand
Dunne recently signed an NIL deal with W, a men’s care brand founded by Jake Paul. She posted a video on her Instagram announcing the partnership.
Paul launched W in June in an exclusive partnership with Walmart. The brand offers body wash, spray and antiperspirant deodorant available at the store for less than $10.
Dunne told WWD she met Paul at Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin’s white party over the summer and they “immediately hit it off,” she said. It’s the latest NIL deal for the LSU star, who boasts an On3 NIL Valuation of $4 million.
“Seeing how passionate [Paul] was in person really made me want to work with him,” Dunne told WWD. “I know he grew up as an influencer and has always been in the spotlight, but he’s truly proven himself in other areas and shown that you can be successful beyond just being an influencer.”
