On a day when they lost a commitment from a member of their 2027 recruiting class, the FSU baseball program added one to their 2026 recruiting class. Infielder Deacon Avery committed to the Seminoles on Friday, announcing the news on social media.
Avery was previously committed to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, but decommitted when head coach Kevin Schnall left to take over the South Carolina Gamecocks. FSU took advantage, moving quickly to land the Niceville, Florida, product.
He played in 34 games as a senior and has experience at shortstop and third base. He hit .374 with seven home runs and seven doubles with 31 RBI in 99 at-bats. A right-handed hitter, he had a .464 on-base percentage and a .677 slugging percentage. He had 18 walks and three hit-by-pitches with 21 strikeouts.
Avery stole 22 bases as a senior after stealing just 10 the year before. He made eight errors during the 2026 season, finishing with a .910 fielding percentage. He is the 14th high school member of FSU's 2026 recruiting class and the fifth infielder
