Just days after the firing of UCF’s coach of seven years, UCF’s freshman home run leader announced via Instagram on this past Thursday June 1st, that he would be transferring to FSU.
Drew Faurot showed himself to be a star. The former Florida High two-sport star who set the freshman home run record at Central Florida this past season was a unanimous selection to the American Athletic Conference Freshman All-Conference Team. He started 57 games, hit .252 and had 51 RBI.
Faurot has history with FSU as his father, Adam Faurot, played infield for the Seminoles (1995 to 1996), starting 97 games with a career batting average of .331 and playing in a pair of World Series’.
Faurot is the 3rd transfer FSU landed Thursday. North Florida shortstop Alex Lodise also announced his intention to sign with FSU. Outfielder Max Williams announced he was transferring from Alabama to FSU.
Friday morning, UCF left-handed pitcher Jacob Marlowe announced his intentions to transfer to FSU as well.
The Seminoles went 23-31 this season in Link Jarrett (who is a Florida High alum like Drew Faurot)’s first year at the helm, missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1977 and could likely use Drew Faurot’s help in the coming season.
