Morgan Price, the two-time national champion who helped launch Fisk University‘s historic gymnastics program, has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal for her final year of eligibility—marking the close of a revolutionary chapter in HBCU athletics.
After initially committing to the University of Arkansas, Price shocked the gymnastics world when she instead chose to make history with Fisk, becoming the face of the first-ever HBCU women’s gymnastics team. In just two seasons, she not only broke barriers but dominated the sport—becoming the first HBCU gymnast to win a national collegiate title and sweeping all four individual events at the 2025 Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics National Invitational Championship.
In a post on Instagram, Price expressed gratitude for her time at Fisk, saying, “Fisk University gave me a purpose bigger than myself. It gave me a historic opportunity to be part of something no one had ever done before—to represent the first-ever HBCU gymnastics team on a national stage.”
Her departure leaves big shoes to fill. Fisk’s gymnastics program became a beacon of inspiration for Black athletes in non-revenue sports, and Price’s rise helped push the program—and HBCU gymnastics—into the national spotlight. University President Dr. Agenia Clark acknowledged her impact, stating in a press release that Price “served as a phenomenal ambassador for Fisk University and embodied the incredible ways our institution continues its history-making legacy.”
While Price hasn’t revealed her next move, there’s speculation that top Power Five programs are already in pursuit of the standout gymnast. As Sports Illustrated reports, her combination of elite talent and historic leadership makes her one of the most sought-after names in collegiate gymnastics today.
As she charts a new path, Price’s legacy at Fisk is cemented—not just as a champion, but as a trailblazer who showed what’s possible when excellence meets purpose.
