Originally a member of the class of 2025, five-star recruit Ly Bui graduated early and will join Florida this season, the Gators announced Friday.
“We are truly ecstatic to officially welcome Ly Bui to the Gators Gymnastics family,” head coach Jenny Rowland said at the time of her signing. “A fiercely competitive athlete, Ly embodies the perfect blend of grace and power, proving that great things come in small packages. We can’t wait to see her showcase her extraordinary talent in the O’Dome and inspire our fans with her passion for gymnastics and her dedication to the Gators through her exceptional performances.”
The addition adds depth to a talented Florida squad. She is particularly strong on bars, but her cleanliness overall will translate well to college gymnastics and give the Gators an additional option. Bui most recently competed as an elite, where she placed first on bars at the 2024 Core Hydration Classic as a senior. In 2023, she finished fourth on bars and seventh in the all-around as a junior.
Florida opens its season on January 10 when it hosts Michigan State, Nebraska, and Northern Illinois.
