Florida State lands point guard transfer Martin Somerville

Luke Loucks has landed his likely starting point guard as three-star UMass Lowell transfer Martin Somerville has committed to the Seminoles.

Somerville chose Florida State over BYU after visiting both schools earlier this week. He announced his decision Friday evening.

According to On3’s transfer portal rankings, the 6-foot-3, 185-pound prospect is the 363rd-ranked player in the portal and the 64th-best point guard.

This past season, at Umass Lowell, Somerville had an outstanding freshman year. He averaged 13.6 points per game, 3.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He shot 42.0 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from 3-point range.

This led him to being named American East Conference Rookie of the Year for the 2024-25 season.

BYU already had two point guards committed, including Baylor transfer Rob Wright, who is expected to be one of the best players in the country at the position.
