LSU picked up another superstar transfer Thursday when former Florida gymnast Savannah Schoenherr posted that she would be using her final season of eligibility at her former rival. Many people online believed that she would transfer to UCLA for reasons on and off the floor. Nobody had LSU on their radar until Tuesday evening when she appeared on the Alex Box Stadium video board and SECN+ broadcast of LSU’s 14-4 win over Northwestern State. Schoenherr is using the redshirt year she took after she broke her foot the day before the 2023 season opener.

College career

Schoenherr’s freshman season in 2019 was solid. She made every possible bars and vault lineup as well as four floor appearances. She went 9.900+ on bars in most of her appearances, including a season-high 9.925 at Oklahoma, but was less consistent on vault, something she cleaned up by the end of the season. She represented Florida as an individual at nationals when the team failed to qualify thanks to a 9.900 on vault at regionals that tied her season high. She scored a 9.8750 with her Yurchenko 1.5 and earned second-team All-America honors.
 

Schoenherr remained a stalwart on bars and vault in her Covid-shortened sophomore season. She scored 9.900+ on most of her bars routines again and set a career high with a 9.975 against LSU. She earned regular season second-team All-America honors on bars. Her vault was more consistent, too, though it never surpassed 9.900. She made one appearance on floor in the team’s final meet of the season and scored a career-high 9.925.

Her junior season was her most consistent on vault and her least consistent on bars, events she always competed. She fell twice on bars, the first times she’d done so in her college career, and only scored above 9.900 three times out of 12 routines. Vault was a brighter story. She scored at least 9.900 on half of her vaults and set a career high with a 9.950 at Arkansas she later tied vs Auburn. Her consistency on vault earned her regular season second-team All-America honors. She also made her beam debut at Alabama with a 9.875, an event she competed at the next three meets.
