Noella Marshall, a three-time Level 10 national qualifier, is set to join the Alabama gymnastics program this fall, head coach Ashley Johnston announced Friday.

A native of China Township, Michigan, Marshall recently placed third on vault at the 2025 Women’s Development Program National Championships. She trains at All American Flames Gymnastix under coach Mel Schieble and wrapped up her 2025 season with regional titles on vault, floor exercise and in the all-around.

Marshall joins an incoming freshman class that includes Azaraya Ra-Akbar, Jasmine Cawley, McKenzie Matters and Derin Tanriyasükür.

"We're thrilled to officially welcome Noella Marshall to the Alabama family,” head coach Ashley Johnston said in a press release. “Her dynamic gymnastics, fierce determination and the unique path she's taken through this sport reflect the heart of our program. Noella brings power, artistry and a story that inspires – we can't wait to see the impact she'll make in the Crimson Tide legacy."
