U.S. Gymnast Hezly Rivera's Big Reveal Is Turning Heads

USA Gymnastics star Hezly Rivera has officially started her college tour as she assesses her options for the future. Considering her popularity following the 2024 Olympics, her first college visit naturally turned a lot of heads.

Rivera made headlines when she announced her upcoming college visits on Friday, August 30. The 16-year-old gymnast even had her fans guessing where she was headed first as she documented her trip on social media.

Later on, Rivera unveiled that she visited the University of Florida first, noting that she also got to watch her first football game as the Florida Gators took on the Miami Hurricanes.

Based on her Instagram Stories, the teenage Olympian also got to be on the field during her visit. Furthermore, she got to take photos with former NFL star Tim Tebow and the SEC Nation crew.

While the Gators lost to the Hurricanes in the game, it was clear the Hezly Rivera still had a lot of fun during her college visit. It's unknown where she'll go next, but Florida fans certainly hope that she'll join the program.

"Hezly Rivera you ARE a Florida Gator," a fan said. Another one commented, "We up!!"

There will certainly be a lot of interest in Rivera, especially with the exposure she gained from the Olympics. She bagged a gold medal in this summer's Paris Games after USA Gymnastics dominated the team all-around event.

Rivera, who was the youngest member of the US women's gymnastics team, didn't participate in the team final; however, she did perform on the beam and uneven bars during the qualifying round.

At such a young age, the future is certainly looking bright for Rivera. That said, many eyes will be on her and her school choice.
