Emily Innes is Headed South: From Washington to LSU, This Gymnast is Ready to Shine in the SEC
Big news in the college gymnastics world—Emily Innes is making moves, and we’re here for it! After spending the last few seasons flipping, twisting, and tumbling for Washington, the standout gymnast is packing her bags and heading to Baton Rouge for her senior year. That’s right, Emily is transferring to LSU, and the Tigers just scored themselves a major upgrade.
Known for her powerful routines, consistent performances, and contagious energy, Emily was a fan favorite at Washington. Whether she was sticking her landings or hyping up her teammates from the sidelines, she brought the kind of spark every program dreams of. And now, LSU fans are about to experience that same fire—only this time, in purple and gold.
So why the move? For Emily, it’s all about embracing new challenges and chasing big dreams. The SEC is arguably the most competitive conference in college gymnastics, and LSU has a reputation for turning top talent into national stars. With packed arenas, electric atmospheres, and a team full of fierce competitors, it’s a perfect fit for a gymnast looking to go out with a bang in her final season.
Of course, we’ll miss seeing her in Washington purple, but we’re beyond excited to watch her shine in the Bayou. With her talent, experience, and that signature smile, Emily’s set to make her mark in Baton Rouge—and maybe even help LSU make a run at the national title.
Welcome to the South, Emily. LSU just got a whole lot stronger—and a whole lot more fabulous.
