Releases courtesy of FSU Sports Information:

For the seventh time in the last nine seasons, the FSU softball team put multiple players on the NFCA All-American teams as Isa Torres was named a First Team All-American and Kennedy Harp was named a Second Team All-American on Wednesday afternoon. 

Torres is FSU’s first NFCA First Team All-American since Sydney Sherrill in 2019. Torres and Harp become FSU’s 38th and 39th players to earn an All-American honor. FSU now holds 59 total All-America honors in its history, 26 of them coming under Head Coach Lonni Alameda. 

Both Torres and Harp helped FSU break the school record for batting average (.346), hit the third most home runs in school history (83), score the fourth most runs in school history (452) and record the fourth most hits in school history (566). 

Torres had one of the best offensive seasons in school history for the Garnet and Gold to help her become a consensus First Team All-American as she was named a First Team All-American by Softball America, D1Softball and the NFCA. Torres broke the single season batting average record (.436), finished third in FSU history for most hits in a single season and was tied for fourth for most runs scored in a single season (70). Torres finished the year with nine home runs and 45 RBI on her way to a First Team All-ACC and First Team NFCA All-Region season. Torres recorded a hit in 51 out of FSU’s 61 games this season and reached base in 54 out of FSU’s 61 games.

Harp was a breakout star for the Seminoles in 2025 and became an instant threat in the Seminoles’ lineup. Harp finished the year with a .412 average with 10 home runs and 49 RBI in 49 games. More impressively, Harp hit 10 triples which was one triple shy of tying the school record. Harp led the team with a .765 slugging percentage and was second on the team with 15 stolen bases on 18 attempts. Harp started her year by recording a RBI in the first 10 games of the season which was the longest streak in school history. 

FSU’s Clanton named first-team All-American

Florida State junior Luke Clanton was named to the 2025 NCAA Division I PING All-American First Team on Wednesday. Clanton was among 10 golfers recognized, earning the third All-America recognition of his career.

Since 1957, FSU has collected 58 All-America honors from the Golf Coaches Association of America, including three from Clanton.  Clanton joins John Pak as the only two-time First Team honorees in program history.  He was also honorable mention in 2023.

Clanton became the second player in Florida State history to capture the Ben Hogan Award after Pak was the winner in 2021.

The Ben Hogan Award annually awards the top men’s NCAA Division I, II or III, NAIA or NJCAA college golfer based on all collegiate, amateur, and professional events over the previous 12 months. The joint announcement was made by the Hogan Trophy Award Foundation, the Friends of Golf (FOG) and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).

Clanton led FSU to four victories in 2024-25, while topping the leaderboard in each win. Clanton became the first two-time NCAA Regional champion, after winning the Tallahassee Regional at 15-under, 201, setting a new course record for a three-round low at Seminole Legacy. The 11th-ranked Noles were dominant in the victory, finishing at 29-under, nine strokes ahead of No. 5 Ole Miss. 

He finished the season with a stroke average of 69.50, the third highest in program history next to his own program record (69.11) and Pak (69.40).

The Hialeah, Florida, native tied his single-round low of 64 to open the Seminoles Intercollegiate at the Glen Arven Country Club.

Clanton is also a Jack Nicklaus Award Finalist and was one of 10 players named a Fred Haskins Award finalist. 

Clanton is expected to play in the RBC Canadian Open in Caledon, Ontario from June 5-8 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley.
