TALLAHASSEE – Florida State women's basketball freshman Missy Odom was named to the 2026-27 Atlantic Coast Conference Preseason All-Freshman Team on Tuesday. Odom was one of six rookies named to the list, which was voted on by the league's 18 head coaches and 58 Blue Ribbon Panel members.
The forward from Parrish, Alabama is the first freshman to be recognized on the team since Ta'Niya Latson ahead of the 2022-23 season. She leads the Seminole freshman class that received a No. 12 final ranking by ESPNW that also includes Morgan Stewart, Chamiah Francis, Asia Lee and Kennedy Loux.
Odom is a two-sport star that will also play softball at FSU. She was a five-star prospect and ranked No. 21 nationally on ESPNW in basketball. Odom was invited to play in the 2026 Jordan Brand Classic. She was the Class 5A Player of the Year in Alabama in 2024 and was named to the 2025-26 Naismith Trophy High School Girls Player of the Year Watch List as a senior at Monteverde Academy.
Florida State will host Tampa on Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. and Palm Beach Atlantic on Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. in a pair of exhibition games before opening the season against Merrimack at 6 p.m. on Nov. 2.
