Assistant Florida State softball coach Troy Cameron will begin his 8th season at Florida State in 2027 as he helps lead the Seminole offense and defense. Cameron came to Tallahassee after seven years as the high school baseball coach at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. FSU has earned three ACC Tournament championships, six trips to the NCAA tournament, two appearances in the Women’s College World Series, in which the Seminoles finished as national runners-up in both 2021 and 2023. Cameron has posted a 325-76-1 record (.810 winning percentage) in his seven years at Florida State.

A primary coach for the Seminole infield, Cameron coached two Gold Glove winners in Sydney Sherrill (2022) and Isa Torres (2026). Cameron also helped Sherrill and Torres to three ACC Defensive Player of the Year awards. FSU has had 12 NFCA All-America honors during Cameron's time in Tallahassee.

Cameron's best coaching job came in 2026 as FSU posted one of the best defenses in the country. FSU broke the school record with a .984 fielding percentage in 2026. The previous record was .982 in 2022 under Cameron. The Noles also had 33 double plays over the course of the season which was the second-most in FSU history.

A first-round draft pick by the Atlanta Braves in 1997 (29th overall), Cameron played nine years of professional baseball with five different organizations – Atlanta, Cleveland, Colorado, Chicago White Sox and San Diego. Cameron signed a national letter of intent to play college baseball at Florida State under Mike Martin but pursued professional baseball out of high school after he was drafted in the first round.

Cameron reunited with FSU assistant coach Travis Wilson, as the pair made their professional baseball debuts in Rookie League together with the Danville Braves in 1997. Cameron and Wilson were roommates, as well as teammates, for five different seasons within the Braves organization through Rookie, A and A+ ball from 1997-2001.

Through his nine seasons of professional baseball as an infielder, advancing to AAA with the Portland Beavers, Cameron posted a career batting average of .238 with 782 hits, 178 doubles, 26 triples, 122 home runs, 477 RBI and 496 runs scored.

Along with being the coach of St. Thomas Aquinas, he has worked with USA Baseball in numerous capacities since 2013, including as an assistant on the 15U National Team in 2017, which won the gold medal at the Pan Am Championships and currently as the manager of the 2019 15U National Team, that will compete at the 2019 Pan Am Championships in Mexico in September.

At the helm of the STA Raiders, Cameron was named the District Coach of the Year in all seven seasons (2013-19), led the Raiders to District Championships and the Regional semifinals each year, including two regional championships (2013 & 2018) and the 2018 FHSAA 8A State Championship. He has coached seven players that have been drafted and are currently playing professional baseball, as well as 49 players that have gone to play college baseball, with 22 at the Division I level.

A graduate of Florida Atlantic in 2012, Cameron has worked in insurance along with coaching baseball at St. Thomas Aquinas. Cameron is married to his wife Lauren, and they have a daughter Jaden and a son Crew.
