Gymnastics Community “Shocked” as LSU Star Draws Olivia Dunne-Like Perks for 2025 NCAA Season

LSU just made another power move — welcoming Washington standout Emily Innes through the transfer portal! After Olivia Dunne kickstarted her journey in 2020 with a full athletic scholarship and went on to close her senior season in style, the Tigers have now landed another headliner on full scholarship. Innes, a former WCGA All-American, brings star power and poise. “I’m incredibly blessed to have this opportunity,” Innes shared after announcing her commitment to LSU on a full ride! The announcement has shocked fans who have their opinions as well.

Fans are already weighing in — not just on her star power but on her potential role on the roster. With LSU’s deep, talent-packed team and the NCAA’s raised scholarship limits, speculation is swirling.

I wonder if the higher scholarship limit means that the big schools that can max it out will now recruit more event specialists,” one fan noted. “I think Emily will most likely compete as a floor specialist if she makes lineups at LSU.”

The story is developing!
