Latson is represented by Klutch Sports Group, founded by CEO Rich Paul and representing athletes such as LeBron James. Despite entering her name in the portal, Latson’s return to the Seminoles has not been ruled out, as Carter reports that she is “keeping all her options open.”
Latson, a junior in 2024-25, led the nation with 25.4 points per game on 45.1% shooting. She also averaged 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Her numbers across the board represented career highs. She scored 30 points while dishing four assists and nabbing seven rebounds in FSU’s 101-71 loss to the Tigers in the second round.
She was named to the first-team All-ACC selection and a second-team All-America selection. Latson has been selected to the All-ACC team in each of her three seasons and set the single-season FSU scoring record this year with 731 points. As a freshman, Latson set the ACC single-season freshman scoring record with 659 points, leading all freshmen in the country with 21.3 points per game.
