Former Florida State Midfielder Jaelin Howell has won the MAC Hermann trophy for the second straight year. The Hermann trophy is awarded annually to the best player in collegiate soccer. The other two finalists for the Hermann trophy were midfielder Mikayla Colohan from Brigham Young University and forward Kelsey Turnbow from Santa Clara University. All three finalists led their respective teams to the 2021 College Cup.
Howell is the second player from Florida State to win the Hermann trophy. In 2007 Mami Yamaguchi became the first Seminole to win the Hermann trophy.
