TALLAHASSEE – After winning the ACC Indoor Field Performer of the Year in 2024 and 2023, Jeremiah Davis was named the ACC Men's Outdoor Field Performer of the Year, the conference announced on Thursday.
Davis becomes the third Seminole in program history to capture the award for the outdoor season, joining Isaac Grimes (2021) and FSU Athletics Hall of Fame member Ngoni Makusha (2011), who won the Bowerman Award in 2011.
Davis became the first student-athlete from the ACC to receive the ACC Field Performer of the Meet in three consecutive seasons after winning gold in both the long jump and triple jump at the 2024 ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The Lehigh Acres, Florida, native repeated as ACC Champion in the long jump with a mark of 7.95m (26-1¾), before claiming the title in the triple jump with a mark of 16.71m (54-10). It was the first time since 2018 FSU has won the event.
Davis went on to win silver in the long jump (8.07m, 26-5¾) before taking fourth in the triple jump (16.62m, 54-6½) at the NCAA Outdoor Championship, capturing his 10th and 11th career All-American honors.
"Multiple All-American and ACC honors throughout his career," said jumps coach Leevan Sands. "Jeremiah is well deserving of this award. His hard work and dedication has earned him another accolade. I'm so proud of him and over the past two years he has shown relentless, commitment, and determination pushing through challenges and consistently striving for excellence. In his final season with Florida State, it's been an honor to coach such an outstanding student-athlete."
