After spending years and years working towards the dream of being part of a Division I program, these gymnasts’ hard work has paid off. Although there are many exceptional level 10s that have found a home for the next four years, these gymnasts stand out for their accomplishments in the recent season.
Sofia Estrada, 2026 – Oklahoma
A five-star recruit, Estrada shines on every event, especially vault, where she has earned a perfect 10.0 and multiple 9.9+ scores. Besides vault, she is capable of perfect scores on the other three events, with 9.9+ scores there too. She also won the 2026 Region 8 title, setting an all-around high of 39.475.
Emerson Gaa, 2026 – Denver
Coming off a rougher-than-usual year, Gaa is exactly the recruit that the Pioneers were searching for. With highlights like an all-around high of 39.400 and a perfect 10.0 on floor, she can be expected to make a positive impact for this team, especially after losing a few all-stars.
Imani White, 2026 – Missouri
With no weaknesses, White can be expected to make an appearance on all four events during the upcoming season. She has scored a perfect 10.0 on both vault and bars, with high scores above 9.800 on beam and floor.
Finley Scott, 2026 – Arkansas
The Razorbacks are looking to boost their already strong vault lineup by adding Scott. A talented vaulter, Scott proved her consistency on the event with three perfect 10.0s in a row this season.
Raeya Linton, 2026 – Stanford
Although Stanford had an impressive year finishing eighth in the country, it appeared to struggle on vault, its lowest-ranked event. Linton, a five-star recruit, excels not just on vault, where she has earned a 10.0, but on every event. A solid all-arounder who is especially strong on vault is exactly what the Cardinal needs next season.
Ariana Frechette, 2026 – Kentucky
This Wildcats recruit is known for being the only level 10 gymnast to earn a perfect score on beam in the 2026 regular season. Although Frechette shines on beam, she is strong on all events, making her a crucial addition to the Kentucky team.
Josie Lynch, 2027 – LSU
Lynch found her home at LSU, an exceptional and intimidating program, and has the potential to bring it even further. She has a massive all-around score of 39.425 and a near-perfect 9.975 on vault. The Tigers will be excited to have Lynch in their lineups!
Ariana Barksdale, 2027 – Florida
The strong Florida Gators are adding to their lineup depth by recruiting Barksdale. The five-star recruit has shown her potential by scoring 9.800 or well above on each event, including a 10.0 on floor. With her all-around capabilities, Barksdale will fit in perfectly with the Gators.
Elizaveta Grebenkova, 2027 – Alabama
With a great resume consisting of high scores across the board, this five-star recruit has found her place at Alabama. Grebenkova will be an excellent addition to an already-impressive lineup, as the Crimson Tide finished second on bars in 2026.
Morgan Braun, 2027 – Iowa
Iowa will be excited to have Braun join the Hawkeyes. After her stellar performance placing second at 2026 nationals, Braun’s recruit rating was upgraded to five stars, which includes a perfect rating on bars.
