Missouri Tigers gymnastics made their first addition of the offseason Sunday afternoon, with former Illinois gymnast Makayla Green announcing her decision to transfer to Missouri.

Green is coming off a standout season with Illinois after missing the 2024 season with injury.

Entering the fifth year of her career, Green rounded out her 2025 campaign by finishing No. 6 overall on the uneven bars in the Big Ten Championships, matching her career-high score of 9.925. She replicated this score to win the event at the NCAA Regionals.

Green also has set impressive career highs on both the vault and balance beam, scoring a 9.775 on the vault twice in her career, and a 9.7000 on the balance beam once.

Missouri is looking to build off its best season in program history, finishing third in the NCAA Championships. The Tigers are set to lose multiple contributors on the bars rotation, so Green fills a top need.
