Jordan Travis’s “dream” career at Florida State is over due to a serious leg injury.
Jordan Travis’ football career in college is ended.
The quarterback for Florida State, who sustained a serious leg injury during the Seminoles’ 58-13 victory over North Alabama on Saturday night, declared on Monday that his season was finished.
In a statement made public on Monday, Travis said, “I have been overwhelmed by the support from my teammates, coaches, the Florida State community, and those all over the world.” “Even though my career as a Seminole is over due to an injury I suffered on November 18, 2023, the wonderful memories I made at FSU will always last.” Playing quarterback for Florida State University has fulfilled a lifelong dream. I am eternally grateful, humbled, and honored.
“The journey that this team set out on is not over yet as all of our goals still lie just ahead. I am excited to be on my brothers’ sides every day as we continue our attack. We’re all we got and all we need. Job’s not finished. Go Noles.”
Travis is a sixth-year senior and has helped lead Florida State to an undefeated record this season and a spot in the ACC Championship game in December. Going into Saturday’s game, which had been FSU’s final home game of the year and was senior night, Travis had thrown for 2,734 passing yards and 20 touchdowns.
Following an injury sustained against North Alabama, quarterback Jordan Travis of Florida State is removed from the field.
This season, he scored seven more touchdowns on the ground.
However, Shaun Myers of North Alabama tackled Travis in the first quarter, bringing him down with his leg bending awkwardly underneath him. This put an abrupt end to the play.
The FSU training staff hurried him over almost immediately, and he was carried off the field with his leg in an air cast.
He was taken to a hospital, where he appeared to remain over the weekend.
It was an unfortunate end to Travis’ career at Florida State.
The West Palm Beach native grew up a Seminoles fan and transferred from Louisville in 2019.
Over his three seasons at Florida State, he threw for the second-most yards in school history (8,715 yards) and is the only player to be on the program’s top-10 list in career passing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns.
“Jordan will be talked about forever in this program,” coach Mike Norvell told reporters on Monday, per ESPN. “It’s not necessarily going to be just about his playing ability. It’s going to be about who he is.
“There’s an expectation and responsibility we have for him because he’s been such a huge part of this journey. We’ve got work to do. We gotta put it in. Our guys came in with great purpose yesterday. I was pleased with the work that I saw. Guys know what needs to be done.”
FSU has one final game to close out the regular season – a post-Thanksgiving showdown with in-state rival Florida – and the loss of Travis has caused major concerns about their hopes of making the College Football Playoff.
