Bryant said the following about returning to LSU:
"I love gymnastics. It's been part of my life for so long, and I just don't think I was ready for it to end. After Nationals, I kind of told myself I was done. I was like this is how I want to go out, I have accomplished every single thing I want to accomplish with my team and individually. But I think at the end of the day, it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."
