Dunne was part of the unique group of Tigers gymnasts that sealed a first ever national title in April.
LSU stars were handed their iced-out rings much like Patrick Mahomes and co. got when they won the Super Bowl or when Jayson Tatum secured the NBA title for Boston. Those granted to the NFL are said to cost around $7k BEFORE any customization.
And the star gymnasts showed off the bling in a special ceremony and took to social media to flex. Dunne showed off the bling, which had her name on the side and dazzled in LSU purple and gold, to her 5.5million followers.
"Geaux Tigers with the Bling Bling," commented one fan.

Dunne has returned to LSU for her final year of eligibility this season.
She has 13.5million followers across her Instagram and TikTok accounts.

"I had trained a lot in the off season, so I felt really strong and healthy from the start and ready to contribute. I really enjoyed the dynamic of the team this year and it all came together well. Winning the national championships was a great team accomplishment, but I feel like I have more to give as an individual competitor.”
She will be hoping to go off into the world as a back-to-back champion and a little more bling.
