Auburn’s new coaching staff has its first pickups.

Four gymnasts have been signed, including three out of the transfer portal.

The biggest splash comes by way of the signing of LSU transfer Molly Brinkman, who had a five-star rating as a prospect coming out of high school.

All four new signees will be eligible to contribute immediately in January 2027. In the group behind Brinkman, Auburn picked up a pair of power conference reserve ostensibly looking for a fresh start and a chance at more playing time, plus an international pickup as a late freshman signee.

Former Auburn freshman reserve Adriana Consoli was the only departure to enter the transfer portal, which closed May 13, but Auburn has taken its lumps on the recruiting trail in recent weeks, with most of Jeff Graba’s commits moving on after Auburn parted ways with him, leaving the staff room to round out the roster with these additions.

Here’s a look at each of Auburn’s new signees:
