FSU sports information:

The Florida State outdoor track and field teams will host the 50th FSU Relays at the Mike Long Track on Thursday, March 21 and Friday March 22. The first event for the Noles is slated with the men’s hammer on Thursday at 3.p.m.

“FSU Relays is always the traditional kickoff to our outdoor track and field season, and it’s our first test of the newly renovated Mike Long Track and Field facility,” FSU track and field coach Bob Braman said. “We hope to achieve some NCAA Regional and ACC qualifying marks right out of the gate. Our 4x100 and 4x400 relays will be events to watch for sure.”

Teams slated to compete this weekend include Florida, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Marshall and FAMU.

“We’re excited to host the 50th addition of the FSU relays this weekend,” Braman said. There have been many Olympians who’ve competed at the relays, along with some of the greatest teams in track and field history. Our 1983 women’s team and our 2008 men’s teams are a couple of the NCAAs all-time greats.”

On Friday, a group of alumni including standouts Trey Cunnigham, Kim Jones, among others will be recognized at 2:40 p.m. The Noles will also recognize 18 seniors at 4:30 pm.

“We’re also excited to welcome back a large group of alums,” added Braman. “We will have several presentations on Friday afternoon, that include recognizing the alumni, graduating seniors and some special presentations regarding our former coaches and our True Seminole cross country winners.”

Admission is free to the public, with parking available in the Spirit Way parking garage.

FSU sports information:

Sophomore guard Ta’Niya Latson has been named an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American, announced on Wednesday afternoon. It is her second AP All-America honor in as many seasons at the collegiate basketball level.

The Miami native is once again one of the nation’s best pure scorers, ranking in the Top 11 in the country in both field goals made and free throws made. She is 31 points away from establishing the FSU single-season scoring record, sitting at 680 points and behind only Sue Galkantas’ 710 points from the 1981-82 season.

Latson earned All-ACC First Team honors this season and is once again a finalist for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award given to the nation’s top shooting guard. She is tied for the ACC lead with six 30-point games in conference play, including a stretch of three consecutive 30-point games vs. Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and NC State.

Latson and the Seminoles play in their 11th consecutive NCAA Tournament beginning this Friday as a No. 9 seed. FSU faces No. 8 seed Alabama at 5:30 p.m. ET at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on ESPN2.

This is the first time that the Seminoles have allowed two or less hits since February 24th, 2023 against TCU.

A deep dive on the state of FSU men's basketball, which is not in the postseason for a third straight year:

After Day 1 of FSU football spring camp, the Osceola staff went deep with an extensive practice report of nearly 2,000 words.

Thoughts on a number of newcomers including a playmaking WR, a fast running back and DJ Uiagalelei, a big day for Azareye'h Thomas and much more.

Duke Johnson will announce his commitment later today. Johnson is ranked as the number three outside linebacker in the country for 2025 and he is making his decision between FSU, Alabama, Tennessee, TAMU and UCF.

Multiple sources familiar with his recruitment believe that Johnson is leaning towards the Crimson Tide.

FSU 2025 OL commit Solomon Thomas announced that he will be taking visits to at least four other schools this spring. The graphic he put out doesn't include an April 20th so I am anticipating that he will be in Tallahassee that weekend.

Rivals' Adam Gorney takes a look at some of the top quarterbacks in the class of 2026

Brady Smigiel, a California QB, is planning a tour of schools in the Southeast this spring (including FSU, as Pat has mentioned)

Good afternoon!
The No. 12 Florida State Seminoles (18-0) will host the Stetson Hatters (13-8) for a midweek game on Tuesday night. The game will begin at 5:00pm and will be available on ACC Network Extra.

Trey Benson will be throwing out the first pitch tonight (4:50).

This is the first time that the two sides have met since 2022, where they split the season series 1-1.

Brady Louck (0-0, 3.18 ERA) will be making his first start as a Seminole. He has appeared in four games this season and has posted a 3.18 ERA in 5.2 innings, recording 11 strikeouts and allowing 2 earned runs.

Florida State will look to remain perfect heading into a weekend clash with No. 4 ranked Clemson.

The rest of the starting lineup will be posted when available.

After months of behind-the-scenes work by the Florida State football team (and months of waiting for all of us), spring football camp is upon us.

The Seminoles' pursuit of a worthy follow-up to last year's 13-1 ACC Championship season ramps up Tuesday afternoon at the FSU practice facility.

Practice is set to begin at approximately 4:15 and end around 6:30 with post-practice interviews of Mike Norvell, DBs coach Patrick Surtain Sr. and a few select players.

We'll have updates throughout the day including photos/videos of arrivals, a photo gallery and video package of the first few periods and an extensive observations story later tonight recapping everything we witnessed.

Mike Norvell and Florida State’s coaching staff have had early mornings working with Josh Storms and the strength and conditioning staff in the offseason Tour of Duty workouts.

Those workouts are individual by nature but the culture is team-centric, with veterans and leaders encouraging younger players to push to improve. Norvell is happy with what he has seen in his first impressions of the 23 newcomers, 14 of which are transfers.

“They have really done a remarkable job of transitioning in,” Norvell said. “Throughout the last eight weeks they’ve proven that this is a place that they belong.”

Tuesday begins the first of 15 spring practices, a first look at how veterans have embraced bigger roles, how second-year players are more comfortable and how leaders are emerging.

One storyline you’ll hear from Norvell frequently is that, yes, FSU lost a lot of talent and many of those players will be in the NFL. But FSU also returns players with experience at every position group. Taking on a bigger role is something the coaches as well as media will begin to see Tuesday afternoon and gauge progress of various position groups leading up to the spring showcase on April 20.

Here are three takeaways from Norvell’s pre-spring press conference on Monday:

John Anthony, the founder of the Aer Lingus Classic, joins The Osceola to discuss the many options available to FSU fans travelling to the kickoff of the Seminoles 2024 football season. My wife and I ask John the basic questions about what to do and where to go as there are so many options. John provides answers we hope you will find useful, whether you plan to book a trip with his company, On Location - Collegiate, or build your own itinerary.
I don't know about you but the videos of last year's Classic, and the events surrounding this trip, have me looking forward to the season opener and a visit to the Emerald Isle. For more information, visit Seminoles2Ireland.com

Looking ahead to Ireland

20 members of the FSU football team have gained or lost 8+ pounds so far this offseason.

Here’s a full rundown of the significant weight changes on the roster with spring camp looming.

Mike Norvell had something to say about the FSU football transfer portal narrative at today's presser. He pointed out,correctly, that plenty of teams take more transfers than FSU and the Seminoles' portal narrative exists because of FSU's exceptional hit rate.
