LSU gymnast Haleigh Bryant announced Tuesday that she will return to the Tigers for her final year of eligibility in 2025. Per LSUSports.net:
quote:

“After talking with my family, my coaches and my teammates, it was just a really good opportunity,” Bryant said. “I love gymnastics. It’s been a part of my life for so long, and I don’t think I was really ready for it to end.”

The 2024 AAI Award Winner, SEC Gymnast of the Year and finalist for the Honda Sport Award, Bryant capped off her senior campaign as an NCAA all-around champion and national champion, cementing herself among LSU athletic royalty. It’s only fitting she wear a crown.

After nationals, Bryant expected to call it a career. Her resume was unparalleled, accomplishing nearly everything she sought to accomplish from both a team and individual level. But head coach Jay Clark’s vision for the program, and the ability to really build something special, not just in one season, but multiple seasons, made this decision an attractive one.

Serious question. What else would they do? Is there a pro league I do t know about or would they just be “retiring”?

Circ du sole is also big for them. They can make 6-figures a year doing that.

Because of what Olivia Dunne did with NILs HB with her athleticism, Beauty & charisma can make a ton of money staying at LSU. Dunne is supposed to release her intentions to. Maybe she can also model for the statue they’ll make of her. Well only Iowa honors there athletes immediately.

Olympic gymnastics and collegiate gymnastics are two very different beasts. She's very likely not prepared for that.
