Joscelyn Roberson is exploring her options after entering the NCAA Gymnastics transfer portal last month. The Arkansas standout recently visited UCLA on her second official recruiting trip.

Roberson shared a few pictures from her UCLA visit on social media. She seemed to have a great time during her trip to Westwood.

"I had SO SO much fun!! Thank you so much to the coaches, girls, and all the faculty for showing me what it meant and would be like to be a bruin!!!" she wrote in the caption.

One photo in particular caught a lot of attention. It featured Roberson posing with Jordan Chiles, who recently wrapped up her four-year career with the UCLA Bruins in April 2026.

Chiles was quick to react to the post. She shared the same picture on her Instagram stories with a funny caption.

"Idk how she got me in this leo," Chiles wrote with a laughing emoji. She was referring to the blue and gold UCLA leotard she was seen wearing in the photo.

But Chiles did not stop there. She also dropped a comment to encourage Roberson to make the jump to UCLA.

"Just saying!!! You look pretty good in blue and gold 🤷🏽‍♀️ just a thought!" Chiles wrote.

The comment was playful but also pretty direct. It is clear Chiles would love to see Roberson join the Bruins family.

Will Roberson Join UCLA?

For now, no one knows for sure. Roberson has not made any official announcement about her commitment yet.

But she is actively weighing her choices. The UCLA visit was her second official recruiting trip since entering the portal.

Before Westwood, Roberson made a stop at Florida to check out the Gators. UCLA is now firmly in the mix as well.

There is also a strong UCLA connection beyond just the campus. If she becomes a Bruin, she would reunite with several of her former World Champions Centre teammates.

Georgia is another school that keeps coming up. Fans and analysts have pointed out that her former elite coach, Cécile Canqueteau-Landi, is the head coach there.

Roberson's resume speaks for itself. She was selected to the 2024 Olympic gymnastics team as an alternate and went on to win a bronze medal on vault at the 2025 World Championships in Indonesia.

In two seasons with the Razorbacks, she has been a two-time All-American and All-SEC honoree. She has also competed in every single meet for Arkansas.

The 2025 season was especially big for her. Roberson broke the Arkansas freshman all-around record four times, including a 39.625 at the NCAA University Park Regional final.

She was also Arkansas' points MVP that year. Her total of 532.425 was the highest by a Razorback gymnast since 2018.

Her event titles piled up too. She earned five all-around titles, three beam and floor titles, and one vault title.

Roberson is now the third Razorback to enter the portal this month. She joins sophomores Grace Drexler and Julianna Weeks, and she still has two years of college eligibility left.
