College career
Dunn became the NC State Wolfpack's primary kicker entering his freshman season and was named second team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) after he set school-records with 23 field goals made and 120 points scored.[3] He repeated as a second team All-ACC selection after making 21 field goals on 24 attempts as a sophomore.[4] He elected to use the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played in the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic and return to NC State for a fifth season.[5] Dunn won the Lou Groza Award as the nation's best kicker in 2022, was a first team All-American, and set ACC records for most career points scored and field goals made.[6] In NC State's bowl game, he made four field goals to break the career NCAA Division I FBS field goal leaders record.[7]
