NextImg:Olivia Dunne joins Aaron Judge, Travis Kelce in new NIL partnership with Accelerator energy drink

Olivia Dunne’s NIL portfolio is expanding.

The star LSU gymnast — who is the NCAA’s highest female NIL earner — is the newest addition to Accelerator’s roster of A-list athletes, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Dunne joins fellow athlete ambassadors across a variety of sports, including Yankees captain Aaron Judge, Chiefs Super Bowl-winning tight end, Travis Kelce, Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts and more. 

“What really attracted to me to the Accelerator at first was the loaded roster of top tier athletes that use this and drink it,” 20-year-old Dunne told The Post. ” I mean, Aaron Judge Travis Kelce — they all use it and they’re obviously amazing athletes. So that’s what really attracted me to this product.”

Accelerator’s active energy drinks provide sustained energy, accelerate your metabolism and enhance your focus with zero sugar and a variety of great flavors.

Dunne, who met Kelce at the 2023 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles last week, said the two bonded over being on the Accelerator roster.

“The ESPYs were amazing, and he was awesome,” she said of Kelce. “We love it, we actually talked about it.

“… It’s also really good to know that a brand like Accelerator would collab with someone like Travis Kelce because he’s also a great person and I could tell you has good core values.”

Dunne added that she’s excited to return to New York to catch Judge and Co. in action at Yankee Stadium, where she attended New York’s 3-1 loss to Baltimore in May.

The gymnast, who’s entering her senior year with the Lady Tigers, said she enjoys Accelerator every single day before practice and workouts.

“It has zero sugar, enhances your focus, accelerates your metabolism and it’s delicious,” she said, adding that “Rocket Pop” is her favorite flavor.

“They really help in the gym,” said Dunne, who helped the Lady Tigers’ finish in fourth place in the NCAA Championship in April, competing in all-around events.

“It makes me feel great throughout the day.”

Dunne, a New Jersey native, owns a career-high of 9.925 on bars, which is her specialty.

In March, Dunne scored a season-high 9.850 on the uneven bars at the SEC Championships in Duluth, Ga.

Accelerator is NSF Certified, and contains a blend of natural caffeine, plant-based thermogenics, antioxidants and other proprietary ingredients, which help athletes to perform at the highest level.

“I don’t crash [after drinking it]” Dunne said. “My energy levels stay high… and as an athlete, it’s really important to know that I’m putting the highest quality products in my body.”

As part of the partnership announcement Accelerator will be running a social contest where Dunne will be following one fan back on their social channel. 

The gymnast — who made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in the 2023 issue — has already secured partnerships with Motorola cell phone company, Vuori clothing, EA Sports, Body Armor, Grubhub, Linktree, Forever 21, American Eagle Outfitters and Bartleby, which is a growing study app.

The 20-year-old has a NIL valuation of $3.4 million, according to On3 Sports.

During an appearance on the “Full Send Podcast” earlier this month, Dunne shared that the largest check she’s received for a sponsored post on social media was over $500,000.

Accelerator, which is available nationwide at Target, Walmart, 7-Eleven, Dollar General, QuikTrip, Meijer and more, is also contributing to The Livvy Fund.

Earlier this month, Dunne launched “The Livvy Fund,” created to help women-athletes at LSU secure NIL deals in the male-dominated field.
