TALLAHASSEE - Florida State junior guard Ta'Niya Latson was one of 20 players named to the 2024-25 John R. Wooden Award Top 20 Late Midseason Watch List on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Athletic Club John R. Wooden Award Program™, founded in 1976, is presented annually to the outstanding collegiate basketball player of the year. As the most prestigious honors in college basketball, it recognizes The Wooden Award® Most Outstanding Player for men and women, The Wooden Award All America™ Teams for men and women and the annual selection of the Wooden Award® Legend of Coaching recipient. Wooden Award® All Americans have proven to their university that they meet or exceed the qualifications of the John R. Wooden Award® as set forth by Coach Wooden and the Wooden Award® Steering Committee, including making progress towards graduation and maintaining at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA.

Latson is ranked first nationally for points per game (26.0). Latson has also led the Noles to an 19-5, 9-3 ACC record this season, with the team ranking first nationally for points per game (92.1). 

The Miami native has seven games this season scoring above 30 points, including a career-high 40 against Virginia Tech that matched Natasha Howard's program record.
