Joscelyn Roberson of Arkansas has become the latest to enter the transfer portal, as a large number of gymnasts have entered thus far.

Among the leading gymnasts who have announced they are in the portal are Jordyn Lyden of Minnesota, Molly Brinkman of LSU, Anna Flynn Cashion of Kentucky, Ava Piedrahita of PSU and Rylee Guevera at Ohio State. Not every gymnast in the portal has made a public announcement, and the number may be the largest ever.
