What does Morgan Hurd do now? Everything about the Florida Gators alum who received the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame honor

Morgan Hurd joined the creative content team of the Florida Gators, as announced in September 2024. She expects to graduate with a bachelor's degree in English in the spring of 2025 before she steps into the photographer and content creator role for the 2025 season.

According to recent news, the 23-year-old has been announced as a member of the 2025 USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame class. The ceremony, scheduled on August 9, 2025, will coincide with the US Xfinity Gymnastics Championships.

Hurd joined the Gators gymnastics roster in 2022. However, she suffered an ACL injury and had to undergo surgery before her collegiate debut. She graced the mat for the first time in January 2023, maneuvering on the uneven bars and balance beam in a meet against Ball State, West Virginia, and Lindenwood University.

Morgan Hurd continued her momentum in the 2023-24 season, only competing on the floor exercise and balance beam. She earned a career-high of 9.95 on the floor when the Gators locked horns with the Kentucky gymnastics team on March 2, 2024.

In her junior year in 2024, Hurd became the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association Scholastic All-American. Though sidelined in her freshman year in 2022, she received an honorable mention at that year's Gators Gymnastics' Heart & Soul Award.
