Coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi made a splash in recruiting this week with former Arkansas standout and Olympian Joscelyn Roberson’s Thursday announcement that she is transferring to Georgia.
Roberson picked the Red and Black over fellow finalists and college gymnastics heavyweights Florida and UCLA. The Bulldogs had been a favorite to land Roberson in part because the Texas native trained as a junior gymnast with Canqueteau-Landi at World Champions Centre in Spring, Texas, where Simone Biles also trained.
To say the new GymDog is a big time pickup would be an understatement. Roberson was a part of the gold medal winning U.S. team at the 2023 World Championships, then earned an alternate spot on the 2024 Paris Olympic team. She also was the bronze medalist in the vault at the 2025 World Championships.
Roberson spent the past two collegiate seasons at Arkansas, earning Second Team All-American honors last season on the floor and regular season First Team All-American on the beam. Roberson earned All-SEC nods on all four collegiate events. She scored a 9.850 on the vault at the SEC Championships, including completing the Mustafina, making her the first athlete to execute the technical vault maneuver in NCAA action.
Roberson never scored below 39.425 in her four all-around appearances for the Razorbacks in 2025-26, with a season high of 39.575. That consistency is something the Bulldogs need to reach the next level in cutthroat SEC Competition. Georgia is coming off a season that ended with a #6 national ranking, the highest for the squad in recent memory Adding an elite world-class gymnast like Roberson, who has two years of collegiate eligibility remaining, should help with taking that next step.
Go ‘Dawgs!!!
