KENT, Ohio — Kent State head gymnastics coach Austyn Fobes has announced the signing of three student-athletes to the Golden Flashes' 2027 recruiting class: Reyna Campbell, Reagan Dingess and Malena Lawless.
Reyna Campbell

The Level 10 standout recorded a 37.475 all-around, highlighted by a 9.700 on beam, 9.675 on floor, 9.625 on vault, and 9.200 on bars. In 2023, as a Level 9 competitor, she earned a spot on America's Top 100 on beam with a 9.725.
"Reyna's gymnastics is dynamic and full of personality," Fobes said. "She is going to add a spark that will elevate our lineups, and I can't wait to watch her shine as a Golden Flash."
Reagan Dingess
Dingess joins Kent State from Buckeyes Gymnastics in Youngstown, Ohio. A Level 10 competitor, she posted scores of 9.600 on vault, 9.350 on bars, 9.525 on beam, and 9.675 on floor, totaling a 37.300 all-around.
"Reagan brings top-tier precision to her gymnastics," Fobes said. "Her long lines and standout execution are going to be a huge asset to our lineups. Beyond her skill, her dedication and energy make her a wonderful fit for our Flash Family."
