WATCH: Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne ranks her Pirates rookie boyfriend, Angel Reese & others among LSU's Mount Rushmore
Olivia Dunne's boyfriend Paul Skenes is among the many star players coming out of LSU. Over the years, LSU has produced some of the finest talents in football, basketball, baseball and gymnastics. Identifying a Mount Rushmore will be difficult to put together, but some members of the LSU gymnastics team gave it a try.
Skenes, who's possibly just one start away from capping off a stellar rookie season (11-3, 1.99 ERA) with the Pittsburgh Pirates, helped LSU win the College World Series last year. That was followed by him getting picked first overall in the 2023 MLB draft.
On Monday, a social media reel from SEC Network comprising LSU gymnastics players shared their picks for LSU Mount Rushmore.
"My picks for Mount Rushmore is Seimone Augustus, Paul Skenes, Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow," Haleigh Bryant said.
Aleah Finnegan: "Seimone Augustus, Haleigh Bryant, Joe Burrow"
Olivia Dunne: "Pete Maravich, Paul Skenes, Haleigh Bryant, Angel Reese"
Sierra Ballard: "Haleigh Bryant, Tyrann Mathieu, Alex Bregman".

Olivia Dunne opens up on why she doesn't take in-person classes in LSU campus
One of the negative sides that comes with fame is not being able to roam freely in public for personal safety, and Olivia Dunne is no exception.
In the Sept. 10 premiered documentary, "The Money Game," the social media star said that although she likes attending classes in-person, one particular incident made her think otherwise.
“I do like coming over here. … One time I was at class, and I never really checked my messages, but this day on Instagram I checked my DMs. And I remember seeing a DM that said, ‘You’re not going to make it back to your dorm tonight,’” Dunne said.
To ensure safety, the LSU gymnast requested online classes from the university's administration, who approved it.
Moreover, Dunne also mentioned that the university has ensured the safety of all athletes, giving a shout-out to her security guard.
“I think LSU’s done a really good job with helping their athletes and especially me and my circumstances,” Dunne said. “We have a security guard now and he’s the best. His name is Brian. Shoutout Brian,” Dunne said.
Ever since, Olivia Dunne and her teammates are always surrounded with security during their gymnastic meets.
