  "account": "Junior middle blocker Delaney Ewing of Florida State University has been named this week's 'Nole of the Week. Since transferring from the University of San Francisco, Ewing has been an integral part of the Seminoles, playing in every match and all but three sets of the 2025 season. Standing at 6-foot-2, Ewing has shown impressive statistics throughout her junior season, proving herself to be a powerful force on the court.\n\nEwing, in her second year with FSU, has also been developing her role both on and off the court. In this week's 'Nole of the Week feature, Ewing discussed her experience as a student-athlete at FSU and shared insights into her life outside of volleyball. She emphasized that being a 'Nole means more than just playing the sport; it is a sense of belonging and pride in being part of a larger community. Ewing also credits her private volleyball coach, Angela Knopf, and FSU assistant coach Iane Henke for being the biggest influences in her athletic career.\n\nReflecting on her career, Ewing is proud of the decision to transfer to FSU during the transfer portal season, even without knowing where she would land a month later. She considers her work ethic and personality on the court to be the qualities she hopes people will remember when her FSU career is over. On the topic of life outside of competition, Ewing shared that adjusting to the humid climate in Florida was challenging, but she enjoys walking to the facility and listening to country music as her pregame ritual. She also mentioned that visiting Nashville and making custom cowboy hats was one of her favorite team memories so far. With volleyball season in full swing, Ewing remains focused on her role with the 'Noles as Florida State prepares to take on the University of Florida on September 18 at Tully Gymnasium.",
