*Scoring changes were made prior to the 2017 season. There are now four different element groups instead of five, meaning that a gymnast can only receive 2.0 instead of 2.5 in that category. This typically lowers scores by .5.

2016 (Freshman)
Everitt got his first taste of collegiate gymnastics in 2016 after competing seven times for the Huskers. He specialized on the still rings as a redshirt freshman, earning a career-best score of 14.45 against Iowa and Penn State on Feb. 27.

Everitt competed in the postseason as well for the Huskers. At the Big Ten Championships, he notched his third-best score of the season on still rings (14.20). At the NCAA Championships, Everitt posted a 13.85 on still rings and helped the Huskers to a seventh-place team finish - it’s best finish since 1999.

In the classroom and in the community, Everitt made an impact, earning a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in both the fall and spring semesters and earning Academic All-Big Ten accolades. Additionally, Everitt was named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and a CGA First-Team All-America Scholar-Athlete.
