Andreea Dragoi, a college swimming champion, stunned fans as she basked in the California sun.
The 20-year-old sensation from San Jose, who is currently a sophomore, has been compared to LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne.
Dragoi represents SJSU in the freestyle and fly events. He is a native of Bucharest, Romania.
She was recently crowned Miss USA Nation 2022 after walking the runway at Bucharest Fashion Week.
One of the top ten earning NIL college stars in the nation is Louisiana State star Dunne.
She has over 11 million followers on Instagram and TikTok, and On3 values her “Name, Image and Likeness” at $3.2 million per year.
College athletes were able to profit from sponsorship deals and online fame in 2021 thanks to a relaxation of NIL regulations.
With close to 50,000 Instagram followers, Dragoi has been dubbed the “new Livvy” by her fans.
Additionally, recent images from Laguna Beach sparked a frenzy among her devoted fan base.
Andreea is seen in the photos leaning against a rock at the well-known sunspot while wearing a form-fitting purple bikini.
One stunned fan replied: “Going to need a wheelbarrow for the NIL money…”
Another said: “Way more beautiful than Olivia Dunne.”
While a third added: “Your beautiful and yes you bring the heat!”
And a fourth simple added: “Natural beauty.”
A rising star in the pool, Dragoi has previously competed in World and European Junior Championships for Romania.
She told SwimSwam after her Miss Nation triumph last year: “I am grateful for all the people I have in my life that make me happy and support me.
“And I am thankful that I now can have a say and influence the stereotypes and stigmas in the pageant and modeling world.
“This accomplishment means a better version of myself as I learn many new things from every pageant, every girl, every different culture, and lastly a new experience”.v
