On Wednesday, the LSU gymnastics team added yet another transfer to their 2026 roster when Courtney Blackson announced she was coming out of retirement and joining the two-time reigning and defending SEC champions for her final season. Courtney, a graduate of Boise State, announced she’d be retiring following the 2024 season, but she posted that working around the sport for a year made her feel like returning. For full transparency, I interviewed her in April 2024.
Courtney is one of the most legendary gymnasts in Boise State history and is a shoe-in for the school’s athletics hall of fame.
