Florida State men’s golf coach Trey Jones earned ACC Co-Coach of the Year while Tyler Weaver was selected as the ACC Freshman of the Year to highlight several All-ACC honorees as the league’s top student-athletes and coaches were recognized on Thursday afternoon.

Four Seminoles were chosen to the 15-member All-ACC Team, including first-time selections Gray Albright, Luke Clanton and Weaver as well as three-time member Frederik Kjettrup. The four members tie last year’s program record for most All-ACC Team selections.

Jones earned his third ACC Coach of the Year award, also being named in 2008 and 2015. After guiding the Seminoles to the NCAA Match Play Semifinals in 2023, FSU has backed up its run with another strong year in 2024 that includes a runner-up finish at the ACC Championship, a No. 6 overall ranking, match-play wins over Florida, Arizona and Georgia Tech and tournament wins at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational and the Jackson Stephens Cup.

FSU’s year-long success has led it to a No. 1 seed at the NCAA Stanford Regional, which begins May 13-15.

Weaver becomes FSU’s first ACC Freshman of the Year since John Pak in 2018, and joins an exclusive club of five freshman of the year winners (Brooks Koepka, 2009; Hank Lebioda, 2013; Jack Maguire, 2014; Pak, 2018). He enters the NCAA postseason with a 71.71 scoring average this season, owning two Top 10 finishes in his 11 tournaments played.

Weaver finished second overall at the 2024 Seminole Intercollegiate, and placed seventh at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational. Weaver owns nine rounds this season in the 60s.

Clanton is the ACC’s top-ranked player at No. 2 nationally, earning three victories this season in consecutive fashion. Clanton won the Seminole Intercollegiate, the Valspar Collegiate Invitational and the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial – becoming the first Seminole ever to win three straight tournaments.

Clanton is on the verge of the school-record for lowest scoring average at 69.30, and is a Ben Hogan Award Semifinalist. He has eight Top 10 finishes in 12 tournaments played this year. The Hialeah, Fla., native also won consecutive ACC Golfer of the Month honors and was named the SwingU Golfer of the Month for March 2024.

Kjettrup becomes the fifth Seminole to make the All-ACC Team three times, joining Matt Savage, Koepka, Lebioda and Pak. He was a co-medalist at the ACC Championship, and is second on the Seminoles this year with a 70.56 scoring average.

The Denmark native has five Top 10 performances in his nine tournaments played this year, and will be another key performer in FSU’s NCAA postseason aspirations.

Albright has enjoyed his best season as a Seminole, shooting 71.22 and owning four Top 10 finishes in 10 tournaments played. Albright won the Watersound Invitational against an elite field.

He ranks second on the Seminoles with 19 rounds at par or less, and is one of four Seminoles who has played in 10 or more tournaments this year. Albright has recorded nine rounds this year in the 60s.
