Personal
The daughter of Jeffrey and Nicole Dunn, Riley was born on June 28, 2006. She plans to study criminology and criminal justice at Nebraska.

Dunn on Nebraska: “"I chose Nebraska because not only is the campus and surrounding area beautiful, but the opportunities within the criminology major are exactly what I’m looking for academically. In addition, I will also get to compete on the Nebraska Rifle Team with some of my best friends in the sport!”
