TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Junior forward Jordynn Dudley of the Florida State soccer team has been named one of three finalists for the Hermann Trophy, announced on Wednesday by United Soccer Coaches and the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC).<\/p>\n
Awarded nationally to the college soccer\u2019s player of the year, Dudley is the eighth finalist in school history. She is the first finalist since Onyi Ochegini won it in 2023, FSU\u2019s fourth recipient of the prestigious award. Dudley\u2019s 2025 recognition as a finalist comes after she was named a semifinalist in each of her first two seasons, the first player in program history to be a semifinalist three times in her FSU career.<\/p>\n
All three finalists play in the ACC. The winner will be formally announced at a banquet in St. Louis, Missouri, on January 9, 2026.<\/p>\n
While leading the Seminoles to their fifth national championship in program history, and her second in her three-year Florida State career, Dudley has been named a First Team All-American by United Soccer Coaches and a National Player of the Year Finalist by Top Drawer Soccer in 2025. An All-Region First Team and First Team All-ACC awardee all three seasons, Dudley twice earned Player of the Week accolades in 2025, nationally by TDS on December 2 and by the ACC on October 28.<\/p>\n
In her third collegiate season, Dudley led the team with 14 assists, 36 points and 88 shots and was second with 11 goals, three game-winning goals and 32 shots on goal in 2025. She registered three braces and five games with at least three points, including a two-goal, one-assist contest in the NCAA Quarterfinal. In the regular season, the Milton, Georgia, native had at least a point in 13 consecutive games, with a goal in seven of those contests and at least two points nine times. Dudley finished the year ranked No. 6 nationally in assists per game (0.64), No. 5 in total assists (14), No. 17 in total points (36) and shots per game (4.00) and No. 20 in points per game (1.64).<\/p>\n
Dudley helped the Seminoles win their fifth national championship with a 1-0 win over top-seeded Stanford on Monday night. Florida State posted a 16-2-4 record in 2025. The NCAA title is FSU\u2019s third in the last five years and second in three, as Dudley is now a two-time champion.<\/p>\n
