Ellie Ma is an eye-catching all-around talent out of Arizona’s Desert Devils program who remains uncommitted, a status that feels likely to change sooner rather than later given her versatility and scoring potential across all four events. On bars, Ma presents a dynamic set featuring a Maloney and a Ray to bail connection, finishing with a solid double tuck dismount. Her vault is particularly unique, a Yurchenko 1/2 on, 1/2 off pike, that stands out for its creativity and controlled execution. On floor, she brings strong twisting ability highlighted by a precise double full, paired with clean lines and detailed, well-structured choreography that elevates her performance quality. Beam is one of her most polished events, where she shows elegant form and a smooth back handspring to layout step-out connection that reflects both control and consistency. With her blend of originality, cleanliness, and competitive potential, Ma is a name to watch closely in the recruiting landscape.

Ellie Ma had one of the most well-rounded performances outside the podium seniors, highlighted by a 1st-place beam routine featuring a back handspring–layout connection, aerial, and back handspring to Gainer full dismount. She also placed 2nd on bars with strong release work, including a Maloney and Ray, and added a powerful floor set with a front Rudi and front double full.

Ma was a standout throughout the competition, particularly on floor and vault. She demonstrated consistency with little to no landing errors on floor, where her tumbling passes included a front layout double full, a round off layout one-and-half to front pike, and a front layout one-and-half. Ma tied for 3rd on Vault in her division, performing a spectacular Yurchenko half on half off pike, nearly sticking the landing and earning a 9.775. Her precision, power, and competitive composure make her a gymnast any college program would be lucky to recruit.

Ellie Ma is a well-rounded gymnast who continues to stand out for her consistency and polish across all four events. Despite already taking official visits, she remains uncommitted, making her a notable prospect in the 2027 class. On bars, she showcases strong amplitude with a clean Maloney and a Ray release combination, while her vault, a Yurchenko ½ on, ½ off to back pike, adds a unique element to her lineup. Her beam work highlights her artistry and precise footwork, anchored by a back handspring–layout stepout series and an aerial. She carries that same control to floor, where her precise, clean execution, highlighted by a front double full, makes her a steady and reliable competitor and an exciting prospect.
