Morgan Price, a six-time national gymnastics champion and trailblazer in HBCU gymnastics, has officially committed to the University of Arkansas.
The younger sister of Arkansas star Frankie Price, Morgan will join her sibling after three standout seasons at Fisk University, where she was a founding member of the first-ever women’s gymnastics program at an HBCU.
Price’s decision to transfer to Arkansas marks a new chapter in her remarkable career. At Fisk, she dominated the competition with six Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics National Invitational Championship (WCGNIC) titles, including back-to-back all-around crowns in 2024 and 2025, and a sweep of all four apparatus events this season-vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.
She is also the first HBCU gymnast to score a perfect 10, achieving the feat on uneven bars in February 2025, and holds a career-high all-around score of 39.500, earned twice in 2025.
Reflecting on her commitment, Morgan Price was excited about joining Arkansas and competing with her sister. “I’m thrilled to join the Gymbacks and continue my gymnastics journey where my sister has already made an impact,” Price said. “This opportunity allows me to challenge myself at a new level and contribute to a program with a rich tradition.”
Her move to Arkansas also underscores her role as an ambassador for HBCU gymnastics and the sport at large. Price has been a vocal advocate for expanding opportunities and visibility for gymnasts from historically Black colleges and universities.
“I want to show that HBCU talent can compete and excel at the highest levels,” she remarked. “Joining Arkansas is a step forward in my career, but I remain committed to uplifting the HBCU gymnastics community.”
Morgan Price’s accolades include being a three-time First Team All-American, Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame Amateur Female Athlete of the Year (2024), and HBCU Sports Female Athlete of the Year (2024).
Arkansas gymnastics coach welcomed the commitment, highlighting Price’s exceptional talent and leadership. “Morgan is a phenomenal athlete and competitor,” the coach said. “Her experience and championship pedigree will be invaluable to our team as we prepare for the 2026 season.”
