FSU QB commit earns Elite 11 invite, Seminoles baseball preps for NCAA Tournament -- latest in Florida State sports

Happy Wednesday and welcome to Noles News Now, your latest in Florida State athletics, presented by Tomahawk Nation.
Baseball dominating the headlines over the last couple of days, with the Seminoles bowing out of ACC Tournament competition after losing to Notre Dame in pool play. FSU has lost five of its last six, leading to it slipping out of contention to secure a regional hosting selection -- they haven’t hosted since the 2017-2018 season. 
They’ll be headed to the Auburn regional as the No. 3 seed there -- the Seminoles are grouped up with the Tigers, UCLA, and Southeastern Louisiana. Auburn, hosting for the first time since 2010, bowed out of the SEC Tournament with an opening loss to Kentucky, while UCLA finished runner up in the Pac-12 tourney -- they made the title game after scoring 9 runs in the 9th to force extra innings vs. Oregon State, winning via walk-off bomb. Southeastern Louisiana secured its NCAA Tournament berth by winning the Southland Conference tournament.
The regional kicks off this Friday, with FSU taking on UCLA in the opener.
In recruiting news, 2023 four-star quarterback commit Chris Parson earned an Elite 11 Finals invite -- a prestigious honor for high school gunslingers. Parson showed out in the Nashville Regional earlier this month, finishing tied for first with an impressive performance.
2024 five-star running back Stacey Gage, one of the top prospects in his class, took a fourth visit to Florida State on Tuesday. Speaking to Zach Blostein of Noles247, the IMG Academy athlete offered plenty of praise, saying “it just feels like home. I haven't visited any other school as much as this school so everytime I come back it just feels like home. Everybody knows me. I can walk around, do my little thing. I feel good when I come here."
And on Monday,  redshirt sophomore Cole Anderson and senior Dan Bradbury closed out the 2022 season for FSU men’s golf in the NCAA Tournament finals, with Anderson finishing tied for 40th after as final-round 74. 
That’s all the latest excitement in Florida State sports -- coming up this weekend is FSU football’s mega camp, which we’ll have full coverage of, as well as live updates during baseball’s game vs. UCLA on Friday. We’ve also got a bunch of offseason content cooking up, and you should start seeing that on the site starting next week.
Thank you for listening and supporting, if you like what we’re doing or even hate it, please leave us a comment and let us know what else you’d like to hear on the podcast network, as well as on TomahwkNation.com. Thanks again, and we’ll see you Friday.
