Overview
- Roberson announced on Thursday that she is transferring from Arkansas to the University of Georgia and said her choice was driven by academics, medical-school reputation, facilities, and relationships with teammates rather than coaching.
- Her decision reunites her with coaches Cécile Canqueteau-Landi and Laurent Landi after Georgia officially hired Laurent Landi as associate head coach and reconfigured its staff.
- Roberson is a World team champion, a two-time World medalist including a 2025 vault bronze, and a 2024 Olympic alternate who plans to keep training toward the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics while competing collegiately.
- Georgia, which finished near the top of the 2026 NCAA standings, adds one of the top available gymnasts and strengthens its SEC and national championship prospects for the 2027 season.
- Roberson’s portal entry came within hours of Arkansas head coach Jordyn Wieber’s resignation, a timing that fueled speculation about motives even though Roberson has denied coaching influenced her move; the transfer will shift recruiting and competitive dynamics between Georgia and Arkansas next season.
