Roberson, who traveled to the 2024 Paris Olympics as a substitute, witnessed the US women's gymnastics team redeem the gold. Following the Games, the 18-year-old signed up with the Arkansas Razorbacks, making her NCAA debut against UCLA, Ohio State, and Kentucky on January 11, 2024.

In that meet en route to the NCAA Championships, Roberson competed in all four apparatuses and co-won the all-around title with Tory Vetter of Ohio State. Amid the season, she took over Gk Elite's Instagram handle to partake in an 'Ask me a question' session on Sunday, January 26.

"Being on tour was one of the best experiences I've ever had. It was so much fun and so different than a normal competition or normal assignment where we travel. Getting to be with the whole cast, as long as we were together we all got so close. I have so many older brothers and sisters now that I can text at any time so I think that's my favorite part, it's just getting close with the whole cast."
