FSU Softball Star Isa Torres Earns National Spotlight, Named Top 25 Finalist for Prestigious USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award.
Tallahassee, FL – July 6, 2025 — Florida State University softball sensation Isa Torres has officially been named one of the Top 25 Finalists for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award, a national honor that recognizes the most outstanding player in NCAA Division I softball. With this accolade, Torres firmly cements her status as one of the sport’s brightest stars and a cornerstone of the Seminoles’ championship-caliber roster.
The USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award is one of the most prestigious individual honors in collegiate athletics, celebrating athletes who demonstrate excellence in performance, leadership, and overall impact on their team. Torres’ inclusion on this elite list is a testament to her breakout season and her rising dominance on the national stage.
A Season to Remember
In a year that has seen Torres shatter personal and program records, the junior infielder has consistently delivered game-changing performances. Whether it’s her power at the plate, her surgical precision in the infield, or her vocal leadership in the dugout, Torres has played a pivotal role in Florida State’s strong showing this season.
Batting an eye-popping .428 with 15 home runs, 56 RBIs, and a team-leading .510 on-base percentage, Torres has emerged as a complete player with an elite skill set. She also boasts a .980 fielding percentage, demonstrating her two-way excellence and unshakable poise under pressure.
“Isa has been the heartbeat of this team,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “She brings intensity, intelligence, and humility to every game. Being named a Top 25 finalist is not only a reflection of her incredible stats, but also of her leadership and dedication to her teammates.”
A National Profile on the Rise
The spotlight on Torres extends well beyond the ACC. National analysts have praised her as one of the most dynamic and versatile players in the country. ESPN and D1Softball have frequently featured her in highlight reels, and Torres is quickly becoming a household name among fans of collegiate softball.
“Watching Isa play is like witnessing a master class in softball fundamentals and flair,” said NCAA analyst and former Olympian Jessica Mendoza. “She’s got the power, the glove, and the clutch factor. She’s the real deal.”
Looking Ahead
With FSU aiming for another deep run into the NCAA Tournament, all eyes will be on Torres as she continues to guide the Seminoles through the postseason. If selected as one of the final three—and ultimately as the winner—Torres would join an elite group of previous recipients, including legends like Cat Osterman, Keilani Ricketts, and Rachel Garcia.
Voting for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year will continue throughout the postseason, with the Top 10 Finalists announced later this month. The winner will be revealed ahead of the Women’s College World Series.
More Than Just Stats
Off the field, Torres is known for her humility, work ethic, and commitment to community service. A mentor to younger players and a vocal advocate for women in sports, she is admired not only for her athletic ability but also for the character she brings to the game.
As the accolades continue to roll in, Isa Torres remains focused on one thing: winning a national title with her team.
“I’m incredibly honored to be considered among the best,” Torres said. “But I’m just grateful to wear garnet and gold every day and compete with my sisters. Everything else is a bonus.”
