“There's something about being pushed by your coaches to be your very best. And there's something about being part of a team that made school history. And no matter how many opportunities come my way off the mat, there's just something about LSU. And that's why I'm here to say, I'm not done yet," she added.

Lastly, she shared that competing in front of the massive LSU fan base is something that she wants to experience once again.
