FSU football's Caleb LaVallee, Daniel Lyons, Jacob Rizy out the rest of spring practice
Injuries continue to rack up for Florida State football as head coach Mike Norvell announced on Thursday that offensive lineman Jacob Rizy, defensive lineman Daniel Lyons and linebacker Caleb LaVallee will miss the rest of spring practice.
None of the players are excepted to miss significant time, with Norvell suggesting they should be available in the summer.
"Nothing that's going to affect the fall, but unfortunately, they will miss the remainder of spring practice," Norvell said. "Hopefully, we will be able to get those guys great work in the summer as we lead up to fall practice.

"Just had a few guys with some bumps and bruises and it's really a great opportunity for young guys to show and new guys to show where they are and continue to take great steps in developing competition and depth."
FSU football players walk into the first spring practice of the spring season on Wednesday, March 19, 2025
Rizy transferred from Harvard last season and played in 11 games and made five starts, winning FSU Offensive Newcomer of the Year. LaVallee is new to the program, transferring from North Carolina in the offseason after posting 14 tackles and one tackle for loss in his redshirt-freshman season with the Tar Heels.

FSU can't overcome early-inning Oregon State onslaught as Seminoles' season comes to an end
With how close and low-scoring the first two games of the Corvallis Super Regional were, a blowout wasn't exactly on the radar for most heading into Sunday's do-or-die matchup between the Florida State Seminoles and Oregon State Beavers. But when FSU has felt itself slipping into a hole this season, that has on more than a few occasions led to the ground giving way to a full-on sinkhole — with the final example coming at the most inopportune time. Advertisement The catalyst to the blowout can be argued as a fielder's choice in the bottom of the first, one that got an out at second but put runners on the corners as a double-play failed to come into fruition. A 2-0 lead for FSU quickly became a 2-2 tie, then a 6-2 deficit, then a 13-3 one in just the span of three innings, a score that would eventually become 14-10 to bring the Seminoles' season came to a close. Gage Harrelson groundout to start off the game, which was followed up by an Alex Lodise double — a deep ball assisted by a fielding error. He didn't spend much time on base, with Max Williams smacking a left field home run to put Florida State up 2-0 early. Bailey kept the hitting streak going with a single, stealing second after Cal Fisher went down swinging on a full count and then third on a wild pitch. He ended up being stranded there however, as Drew Farout 's left field fly out closed out the frame. Wes Mendes began the game by giving a leadoff single on a 2-2 count and walking Ava Arquette, putting two on for Oregon State. A deep shot went foul and was fielded by Harrelson, earning the first out of the frame but putting runners on the corners. Mendes hit the next batter, loading the bases with one out — and the Beavers would cash in. Three straight singles saw Oregon State score three straight runners, then the floodgates opened with a three-run shot that threw Florida State into a 6-2 deficit. Back-to-back homers ended Mendes day, with Payton Manca taking the mound in search of one out to mercifully end the nightmare start. Back at the top of the order, Manca walked one before a fly out finally sent things to the second. Hunter Carns, in his first at-bat, lined out to left, followed by a Jaxon West groundout. Chase Williams hit a solo shot to make it 7-3 before Harrelson struck out swinging. Advertisement In the bottom of the second, Oregon State flew out on its first at-bat, putting one runner on base before a double play ended the inning. The Beavers opted to make a move on the mound entering the third — Lodise was the first to face the new arm, singling on a 1-1 count, and as before didn't spend much time on base, though this was due to a double play following a Max Williams groundout. Bailey just missed out on a two-out home run, the ball bouncing off the top of the wall for a right center double, with a Fisher groundout ending the frame. A leadoff pop-up began the bottom of the third for Oregon State, who quickly put two runners on base following a walk and a second batter hit by a pitch. The duo each advanced a base on a wild pitch, putting both in scoring position, at which point Manca was pulled for Joe Charles, who was put into the game on a 3-2 count. A walk loaded the bases, and a grand slam made it 11-3 with one out. After giving up a single, Charles himself was pulled, making it four pitchers in three innings as Chris Knier got his turn on the mound and his turn to give up a home run — a two-run shot — before a strikeout and a fly out finishing off the inning at 13-3. Farout was walked at the top of the fourth, followed by a Carns strikeout and West fly out. Chase Williams' single put two on as FSU went back to the top of the order, at which point Harrelson's single loaded the bases. Lodise drove Farout in, with Williams showcasing some athleticism to avoid a tag to make it to third. That was all the ground that Florida State was able to make up, though, with Max Williams striking out swinging to leave the bases loaded. Advertisement Oregon State got another home run to lead off the bottom frame. Knier threw his second strikeout, Carns scooped up a bunt for a second out and another strikeout ended the inning. For the second consecutive inning, the Seminoles got a man on base via walk, this time Bailey. He advanced to second on a wild pitch before Fisher went down swinging, eventually joined by Faurot after he walked and Carns following a single, loading the bases for West. A sac-fly scored Bailey, with the bases getting loaded once again off a Chase Williams right-side single. Harrelson's at-bat featured a bit of chaos, with the on-field call of him being out at first overturned after a replay showed him safe by millimeters and plating another runner — the last ground that Florida State would make up that frame as Lodise's hit fell short of a game-changing slam. The bottom of the fifth was quick, the Beavers plating just one runner to maintain their 14-6 lead. Max Williams got a leadoff single and then Bailey, as he's done time and time again, crushed a ball to add two more runs to Florida State's total. Fisher followed that up with a ground out, Farout adding the second out on a full-count strikeout. Carns got on base with a right-side single, leading to a pitching change for Oregon State. West ground out on an 0-1 count, ending the frame at 14-8. Advertisement Florida State finally pulled off a three-up, three-down inning in the bottom of the sixth, Knier throwing just seven pitches as the defense strung together a series of impressive plays. However, Oregon State put together a 1-2-3 frame of its own on the follow-up as Chase Williams was unable to make it three straight innings with a leadoff runner on base, grounding out before Harrelson struck out looking and Lodise grounded out. FSU opted to put Peyton Prescott on the mound for the second day in a row, trying to keep its hopes of a comeback alive. The first Beavers batter ground out, with Prescott striking out the second, though the right-hander had to tap out due to an undisclosed injury. Connor Hults became the sixth pitcher to take the mound for the Seminoles, throwing three balls for three strikes to make it a second consecutive 1-2-3. Unfortunately, it was a second straight three-up, three-down for the bats as well, a hitless frame leaving just three outs in Florida State's season. Oregon State broke the hitless streak between the two teams during its second at-bat in the bottom of the eighth, putting a runner on base following a one-out single. The Seminoles missed out on a double play, picking off the leadoff runner but replay reversing the call to keep one on first. With three outs remaining to score six runs, Farout singled through the left to kick off the top of the ninth, with Carns following up with a single of his own. West ground out, putting both runners in scoring position for Brody DeLamielleure, pinch-hitting for Chase Williams. His groundout scored Farout, with a Harrelson double right after scoring Carns to make it a 14-10 game — the final score after Lodise was struck out looking. Florida State finishes the year 42-16 (17-10). More from

Bryan Seeley is charged with enforcing college sports' new rules. What's his plan?
The closest Bryan Seeley has been to working in college sports was spending 40 hours a week covering them for the Daily Princetonian during his days as an undergraduate at the Ivy League school. Now, the longtime head of investigations for Major League Baseball is about to step into a brand-new role, leading a brand-new organization, which could make him one of the most powerful people in college sports. Advertisement On Friday night, Seeley, 46, was named the chief executive officer of the College Sports Commission, the enforcement agency launched by the wealthiest and most powerful conferences to oversee and implement the system that will allow direct payments from NCAA schools to athletes for the first time. The formal announcement of the CSC and Seeley's hiring came about two hours after a federal judge approved the $2.8 billion settlement of a trio of antitrust lawsuits facing the NCAA and major college conferences. A self-described lifelong college sports fan, Seeley brings more than a decade of experience in compliance, enforcement, investigations and policy-making at MLB, along with eight years with the U.S. Department of Justice and a law degree from Harvard. He said he was drawn to the job by the opportunity to shepherd college sports through a period of transition and into a new era. 'I view this as an area where I can really add value,' Seeley told The Athletic on Sunday in his first interview since a press release announced his hiring. College sports has a long history of inconsistent enforcement and skirting rules to gain a competitive advantage. The NCAA will still oversee rules related to academics and eligibility, but systems installed to regulate the revenue-sharing cap schools must adhere to, evaluate fair-market value of name, image and likeness deals between athletes and third parties and monitor roster limits will be under the purview of Seeley and the CSC. He will report to a board made up of the power conference commissioners. 'I think this is a good, new starting point. So whatever existed beforehand does not need to be what exists going forward,' Seeley said. 'Culture doesn't change overnight. I don't expect that to happen overnight, but I do think that the schools that have signed on to the settlement want rules and want rules to be enforced. Otherwise they wouldn't have signed on to the settlement. I think student-athletes want a different system. So I think there is a desire for rules enforcement. There's a desire for transparency.' Advertisement Seeley doesn't have an official start date, but there is no time to waste. Universities can begin directly sharing revenue with college athletes starting July 1. The clearinghouse for evaluating third-party NIL deals for athletes worth at least $600, run by accounting firm Deloitte, goes live Wednesday. Schools in power conferences are expected to sign formal agreements to abide by rulings made by Seeley and outside arbitrators. 'I haven't been given assurances of anything, but I do know from my read on this, there is buy-in from the institutions,' Seeley said. Seeley built the investigations unit at MLB, staffed with lawyers and former law enforcement officers. 'During his time at MLB, Bryan demonstrated unparalleled integrity, a commitment to fairness, and the ability to navigate complex challenges with precision and care,' Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. 'I have no doubt he will bring the same level of excellence to the College Sports Commission. College sports will greatly benefit from Bryan's expertise and vision.' Seeley's first task at CSC is to again build a staff. 'These are going to be more private-sector investigations, right?' Seeley said. 'We don't have subpoena power. We don't have search-warrant power. I've operated in that system for over a decade, so I'm well-suited to continue to do that with college sports.' He added, 'I think I'm one of the few people in the country who's probably led investigations into salary-cap circumvention, and so in terms of the subject matter, at least for part of this, I have a lot of experience.' MLB teams do not operate under a hard salary cap, but there is one for the league's international amateur talent acquisition system. One of the most prominent cases Seeley investigated came in 2017, when the Atlanta Braves were found to have circumvented international amateur signing rules over a three-year period. Braves general manager John Coppolella received a five-year ban for his role in the violations. In a separate investigation, Seeley's group found the Boston Red Sox had also cheated in the international amateur market. Punishment in that case was handed down in 2016. Advertisement While the highest levels of college sports are becoming more similar to professional sports, Seeley pushed back on the notion that the power conferences are trying to create another pro league. 'College sports is its own unique thing, and what makes college sports great needs to remain,' Seeley said. 'Some of the system we're going to bring for enforcement is a system that has been used in the pro sports world, but it's been used in other worlds, too. … But I don't view this as the professionalization of college sports. Working with schools and working with student-athletes is going to be quite different than working with professional sports teams and professional athletes.'

Oregon State's offense explodes to end FSU baseball's season in NCAA Super Regional
Florida State baseball's season ended in Corvallis as Oregon State blasted five home runs to beat the Seminoles 14-10 in game three of the NCAA Super Regional Sunday night. The Beavers advanced to Omaha on the back of two explosive innings that produced 13 runs, including a seven-run first inning. Oregon State's offensive outburst in the first three innings outdid FSU's best offensive showing of the Super Regional. Advertisement The Seminoles (42-16) chipped away at the lead but couldn't overcome the mountainous task, aided in part by leaving 10 runners on base. FSU outhit Oregon State 17-12, but failed to convert in a few big spots, ending two innings with the bases loaded. Of Oregon State's 14 runs, 11 came on the long ball, including a grand slam from Trent Caraway in the third inning, and six runs came with two outs. While the Beavers put up two touchdowns, FSU held them scoreless after the fourth inning, which allowed FSU to chip away at the deficit. Wes Mendes started for FSU, and he was unable to make it out of the first inning, just a week removed from a career-long outing of eight innings pitched. In his 0.2 innings on the mound, he allowed five hits, two being home runs, seven runs and struck out none while walking a batter and hitting another. The Seminoles used six pitchers, with Chris Knier going the deepest in his 3.2 innings of relief work. After his heroics in game two, FSU turned to Peyton Prescott again in the seventh inning, but he exited the game after throwing a pitch and appeared to injure his throwing arm. Advertisement Max Williams, Myles Bailey and Chase Williams all hit home runs for the Seminoles. M. Williams gave FSU its only lead of the night in the first inning with his two-run blast, quickly undone by the seven runs from Oregon State. C. Williams hit his second career homer in the second inning. Bailey blasted a two-run shot in the sixth to cut the lead to six. FSU scored a pair in the ninth inning on a C. Williams fielder's choice and Gage Harrelson's double. Four FSU players finished with three hits in the game, with Hunter Carns, Harrelson Bailey and C. Williams all combining for 12 of FSU's 17 hits. The Seminoles struck out nine times, their lowest number of strikeouts in the super regional after 29 combined in the first two games.
