The end of the week is near and the fun begins today for Florida State softball. Keep it here at The Daily Nole for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Redshirt senior Alec Eberle was named to the 2018 Rimington Trophy Spring watch list on Wednesday afternoon. The Rimington trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding center in college football.
Eberle has started 32 consecutive games, dating back to 2015. He earned second team All-ACC honors in 2017 and was named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team in 2016 for his off-the-field community service. Eberle remains the projected starter at center despite offensive line struggles last season.
Bryan Stork in 2013 was the most recent Seminole player to win the award. He remains the only FSU player to have done so.
Between the Lines
