Florida State University is in the eye of a competitive storm — and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. Across baseball, softball, golf, and football, the Seminoles are surging with championship-level ambition, making May one of the most electrifying months in recent memory for FSU athletics.
Let’s start on the diamond, where Florida State baseball is flexing its muscle with a statement series win over Cal. That marked the team’s 10th series victory of the season, keeping the Seminoles in the conversation for the No. 1 national ranking. With Texas faltering and FSU continuing to roll, all eyes are now on Tallahassee ahead of a top-five showdown with North Carolina this weekend.
The Seminoles’ performance was nothing short of surgical: from Chase Williams’ highlight-reel catch in the third to clutch insurance runs in the eighth, Florida State looks like a team built not just for the regular season—but Omaha.
On the softball side, despite heartbreak in the ACC title game with a late loss to Clemson, Florida State remains firmly among the sport’s elite. The Seminoles secured a No. 5 national seed and will host a regional in Tallahassee for the 11th consecutive year, welcoming Robert Morris, Auburn, and South Florida in a bid to start another deep NCAA run.
The Seminoles captured the ACC regular season title for the 15th time in program history, and with a chip on their shoulder after the conference tournament, they head into the postseason with something to prove. Friday’s opening-round matchup against Robert Morris will be broadcast on the ACC Network.
Meanwhile, on the greens, the FSU men’s golf team is teeing off as hosts of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. Led by top-ranked Luke Clanton and a crew of world-ranked players, the team is eyeing its fifth straight NCAA Championship appearance. The Seminoles are grouped with Ole Miss and San Diego State to start the regional.
Not to be outdone, the women’s golf team has written its own chapter of dominance. Mirabel Ting and Lottie Woad, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, are both finalists for the prestigious ANNIKA Award. With record-setting scoring averages and multiple individual titles, this duo is powering FSU’s national title hopes.
Ting and Woad have gone 1-2 in seven out of eight tournaments they’ve played together, and FSU enters the NCAA Championships as one of the top contenders. The program just won its first ACC title in school history, a milestone that sets the tone for what could be a historic postseason.
Football may be in its offseason, but the roster churn hasn’t slowed. FSU pulled in another strong group from the spring transfer portal, adding key names like quarterback Jaylen King, running back Gavin Sawchuk, and offensive linemen from Rutgers and Vanderbilt. The defensive backfield also got a boost with USC’s Jarvis Boatwright Jr. and Houston’s Jeremiah Wilson.
Recruiting remains steady as well. With commitments from top in-state talent such as RB Amari Clemons and WR Efrem White, and versatile athletes like Darryon Williams, the 2026 class is shaping up well. Defensively, FSU added depth with DBs Darryl Bell III, Tedarius Hughes, and Sean Johnson—a sign the pipeline is flowing with Florida-native firepower.
Elsewhere, FSU men’s basketball is gaining steam under a new era, sharing social media glimpses of workouts and new faces like Rob McCray and Kobe MaGee, both projected to make immediate impacts. Hype is building behind the scenes for a bounce-back season.
From the roaring bats of baseball to the focused swings on the golf course, and the careful roster engineering on the gridiron, Florida State is surging into summer with a fire that spans every corner of campus. It’s a Crimson Tempest—one that’s leaving no sport untouched and no opponent unshaken.
