Two of the most dominant players in program history just added more hardware.

Mirabel Ting and Lottie Woad were both named First-Team All-Americans by Golfweek, cementing their places in FSU women’s golf lore after a season that included a program-record seven team victories.

🏆 Ting’s Season in Numbers:
• 68.77 stroke average — best in school history
• 25 of 26 rounds at par or better
• 5 individual wins, 9 top-6 finishes
• ACC Golfer of the Year
• 80 strokes under par for the season — including -10 at both NCAA Regionals and Nationals

Ting has now earned All-American honors in three straight years — and made history with 16 straight rounds under par to end the year.

🎯 Woad’s Career Keeps Climbing:
• First five-time First-Team All-American in school history
• 70.06 stroke average this year (3rd-best ever)
• 6 career wins, including the 2025 Moon Invitational
• 4 career rounds of 65 — tied for best in program history
• 60 strokes under par this season

Woad and Ting have now combined to win all 10 individual titles by FSU golfers since Fall 2022.

🔁 Only FSU and Stanford had two First-Team All-Americans this season — elite company.

Florida State continues to stack elite talent on the links.

Luke Clanton (First Team) and Tyler Weaver (Honorable Mention) were both named Golfweek All-Americans following a standout season that saw the Seminoles notch four team wins.

🏌️ Luke Clanton:
• 69.50 stroke avg — 3rd-best in program history
• First-ever two-time NCAA Regional Champion
• Set Seminole Legacy course record (15-under, 201)
• 2024–25 Ben Hogan Award winner
• Turns pro this week at the RBC Canadian Open

📍 Watch for him: Clanton tees off Thursday at 7:40 AM in Toronto

🏌️‍♂️ Tyler Weaver:
• 6 top-10 finishes as a sophomore
• 2025 Cabo Collegiate champ (8-under)
• ACC runner-up, 3rd at Stephens Cup
• Qualified for the 2025 U.S. Open
• Will play in the Arnold Palmer Cup (June 5–7)

Another strong showing for Seminole golf — and the pipeline to the pros is very much alive.

The ‘Noles just added serious firepower for 2026.

Davidson infielder Eli Putnam has committed to Florida State out of the transfer portal, giving Link Jarrett a veteran bat with power, versatility, and elite Cape Cod League experience.

🗣️ “FSU is the pinnacle of college baseball… The coaching staff, atmosphere, and history are unmatched.”

📊 Putnam by the Numbers:
• .338 career AVG | .424 OBP | .642 SLG
• 35 HR, 34 2B, 120 RBI across last two seasons
• 2024: .349 avg | 18 2B | 19 HR
• Cape Cod League (2023): .291 avg | .906 OPS | 9 SB

🧢 Versatile Resume:
• Has played all four infield spots — primarily 2B last season
• Played 1B on the Cape, with just 2 errors in 241 chances
• Goal: Stick on the left side of the infield under Coach Jarrett

Putnam is draft-eligible this summer and will test the waters, but if he returns, FSU gains one of the portal’s most productive hitters.

Despite being firmly committed to Florida State, 2026 linebacker Karon Maycock is staying active on the recruiting trail — but says his bond with the Seminoles remains rock solid.

The Miami Central standout was back in front of FSU staff at FAU’s Elite Camp this week, including a brief chat with Coach Norvell.

🗣️ “His message was that he has got my back, and I’ve got his back, too.”

📍 Visit Rundown:
• June 20–22 – FSU (Final visit weekend)
• Recently visited Florida – praised Napier and staff
• Swapped Penn State for Syracuse – citing consistent communication
• Alabama up next – daily contact with staff has him intrigued

🔒 Why FSU Still Leads:
• He says he’s “locked in” and just wants FSU to keep doing what they’ve been doing
• Norvell’s presence and ongoing staff contact continue to resonate

🧠 What He’s Looking For:
• Love from coaches and clear fit in each team’s scheme

247Sports still shows no Crystal Ball flip predictions — and unless things shift, FSU appears to be in strong position to hold on.

One of Florida State’s biggest official visitors this weekend is Rodney Colton, a highly coveted four-star linebacker out of Newnan, GA — and the Seminoles are in his final two.

After visiting Tallahassee in the spring, Colton said FSU blew him away and quickly went from a school “in the picture” to one of his favorites.

🗣️ “Coach JP’s a great coach — there’s nothing bad I can say about him… He’s like a father figure. You can talk to him about anything.”

🔥 Why FSU Has Momentum:
• Bond with FSU LB Elijah Herring, a family friend and mentor
• Trust in LB coach John Papuchis (JP)
• Impressed by FSU’s new facilities and development plans
• Likes Tony White’s aggressive defense and LB blitz packages

🔍 What He’s Watching:
• Player bonds, locker room culture, NIL structure
• Rotation at linebacker and early playing time potential

🎯 The Decision Timeline:
• Hopes to commit on July 4th, but may push to August
• Says both staffs are offering early PT — “It’s hard to trust what you hear”

FSU’s pitch will be put to the test this weekend — and a strong visit could tip the scales.

With national award buzz, transfer additions, and blue-chip linebackers circling the Garnet & Gold, Florida State is surging across every front.

Tomorrow? We’ll have updates from the Elite Camp trail — and more clarity as key official visits approach.

Until then, cast your votes for Lodise, and stay dangerous. 🍢
