TALLAHASSEE - Two Florida State softball players were named College Sports Communicators Academic All-Americans on Tuesday afternoon as seniors Devyn Flaherty and Kaley Mudge each picked up Third Team Academic All-America honors. Florida State has now earned 10 CSC (Formerly CoSIDA) Academic All-America honors. Flaherty and Mudge are the first Seminoles to earn Academic All-America honors since Dani Morgan in 2021, and it is the first time that FSU has had multiple Academic All-Americans in the same season.
Both Mudge and Flaherty ended their decorated careers on a high note in their senior seasons. Mudge finished the season with a .333 average with two home runs and 30 RBI. Mudge turned it on during ACC play to help herself earn First Team All-ACC honors for the second time in her career. She was also named to the NFCA All-Southeast Region Third Team and the ACC All-Tournament Team. Mudge earned a certificate in athletic coaching this year and earned a perfect 4.00 GPA. Mudge will be staying in Tallahassee and will be enrolling in Florida State's nursing program.
Flaherty finished her career as one of the most consistent and durable players to wear the Garnet and Gold. Flaherty ended her career playing in 275 games which is tied for the fourth-most games played in school history. Flaherty finished the season with a .329 average but was one of FSU's top hitters that sparked a turnaround in the second half of the season. Flaherty hit .386 in ACC play while starting every game at second base. Flaherty picked up her fourth consecutive All-ACC honor as she was named to the All-ACC Second Team. Flaherty earned her Masters in Sport Management this spring and finished the school year with a 3.89 GPA.
