Consistency, Maturity Key in Kiya Johnson's Fast Start at LSU

Some athletes walk in the door different than the rest. You can sense their greatness before it takes place. For LSU, freshman all-around gymnast Kiya Johnson is a prime example.

Committed to the Tigers since July of 2018, Johnson was captivated by the LSU gymnastics culture built under head coach D-D Breaux and couldn't pass the opportunity up. In fact, Johnson was so eager to get to Baton Rouge that she graduated a year early at Coppell High School in her hometown of Dallas, Texas to enroll at LSU at just 17 years old.
