It may be the offseason, but NCAA gymnastics has been anything but quiet since Four on the Floor. From coaching changes, to commitment switches, to transfer announcements, NCAA gym is keeping us on our toes.
Here are five NCAA gymnastics offseason moves that have me beaming.
Morgan Price Transfers to Arkansas
Morgan Price, the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 in HBCU history, is transferring from Fisk to Arkansas. Price was initially committed to Arkansas, but was invited to compete for Fisk when they became the first HBCU gymnastics program in 2023. Her career highs include a 9.925 on vault, 9.950 on beam, 9.925 on floor, and of course a 10 on bars. Price is the back-to-back Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics National Invitational Championships (WCGNIC) all-around champion, 2025 WCGNIC champion in every event, the 2025 WCGNIC Gymnast of the Year, and a three-time First Team All-American. Price and her older sister, Frankie, will compete side-by-side for the Razorbacks in their final NCAA season. I cannot wait to see the Price sisters compete back-to-back, especially on floor!
eMjae Frazier Transfers to Florida
I called it! eMjae Frazier, a rising senior, is transferring from Cal to Florida. Frazier is a great performer, and she is consistent and capable of putting up big scores on every event; her career highs are 9.950 on vault, 9.975 on bars, and perfect 10s on beam and floor. Heading into a season without Leanne Wong, there couldn’t be a more perfect athlete for the Gators to pick up than Frazier. I cannot express just how excited I am to see the one-two punch of Frazier and Selena Harris-Miranda, the star Gator who transferred to Florida last year, on every event!
Madison Ulrich Transfers to LSU
Madison Ulrich is transferring from Denver to LSU for the second half of her NCAA career. While LSU won’t be the same without Haleigh Bryant and Aleah Finnegan, Ulrich is such an exciting addition to a still-powerful LSU team and will be a great all-arounder to have alongside rising sophomore Kailin Chio. Her career highs are 9.925 on vault, a near-perfect 9.975 on bars, 9.900 on beam, and 9.950 on floor. In 2025, Ulrich was named to the All-Big 12 Conference Team and qualified to nationals as an individual and competed in the all-around. I’m so excited to see Ulrich in the SEC!
Emily Innes Transfers to LSU
LSU gets a perfect 10 for transfers this offseason. Emily Innes, a rising senior who competes vault, beam, and floor, is transferring from Washington. Her career highs include a 9.875 on vault, a 9.900 on beam, and a 9.950 on floor, which won her the regional title in 2024. In 2025, she was named to the All-Big Ten Championship Team, and competed as an individual on beam and floor at regionals. Innes shines on the floor, and will immensely help fill the holes left by Bryant and Finnegan. One thing is for certain in this next step in Innes’ career: she knows how to rock a purple leo on the floor exercise.
Ashlee Sullivan Commits to UCLA
Ashlee Sullivan, a member of the U.S. Women’s National Team, announced her commitment to UCLA after previously committing to Michigan. Sullivan joins an impressive incoming freshman class for the Bruins that includes two other U.S. National Team members in Nola Matthews and Tiana Sumanasekera, who was also an Olympic alternate. A four star recruit, Sullivan will begin competing for the Bruins next season, while continuing to train elite this year. Should Sullivan choose to continue training elite through her collegiate career, she’d be at a program that has supported gymnasts continue their elite careers, like rising senior Jordan Chiles and recent graduate Emma Malabuyo. I can’t wait to get the chance to watch her compete!
