BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU's gymnastics star player and top senior in the nation, Haleigh Bryant, has decided to stay with the Tigers for another year.
Bryant will return for her final year of eligibility in 2025.
“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.”
After the team won its first-ever NCAA National Championship, Bryant is excited to return.
“A team national championship is going to be in the forefront of my mind, as well as an SEC championship,” Bryant said of her return.
She capped off her senior campaign with solo wins too, including the 2024 AAI Award Winner, SEC Gymnast of the Year and as a finalist for the Honda Sport Award.
Bryant has won 91 titles in her LSU career and earned 31 individual titles. She became the first LSU gymnast to have a perfect ten on every event in one season, our partners reported.
“Individually, I just want to enjoy it. It's going to be my last year of gymnastics, for real this time. So just enjoying the sport that's been a part of my life for so long now and just making memories and enjoying it is something that I really look forward to.”
