Head coach Daniel Ribeiro has announced the first addition to the University of Illinois' 2025 signing class. Alex Karadzhov, a gymnast from St. Petersburg, Florida, will join the Illini family.
"We are so excited to be adding Alex to the Illini family," said head coach Ribeiro. "Alex brings a combination of elite execution and big skills. He is the total package and is going to help lift our program on a number of events."
Karadzhov competes for EVO Gymnastics and plans to major in computer science at Illinois. He expressed his enthusiasm for joining the university's supportive environment.
"During my recruiting process, I got to see a little bit of how supportive the whole Illinois program is," Karadzhov stated. "This strong support network is a great foundation for serious growth in all aspects of life, not just gymnastics, and that's something I want to be a part of."
