Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis confirmed Monday that the injury he sustained in Saturday’s game vs. North Alabama will end his college career.
Travis, the senior leader of the undefeated Seminoles, suffered a gruesome left leg injury after being tackled on a first-quarter run. Travis’ leg was caught underneath a North Alabama defender at an awkward angle. It was quickly put in an air cast and he was carted off the field and placed into an ambulance.
In a message posted by Florida State, Travis said he has been “overwhelmed” by the messages of support he has received since sustaining the injury.
“I truly cannot thank everyone enough for the many thoughts, prayers and messages that have been sent my way. I have been overwhelmed by the support from my teammates, coaches, the Florida State community and those around the world,” Travis wrote. “Although the injury I sustained on Nov. 18 marks the end of my Seminole playing career, the great memories created here at FSU will never fade. Being the quarterback at Florida State University has been a dream come true. I am humbled, honored and forever grateful.”
Travis, a Florida native, started his career at Louisville before transferring to FSU. He emerged as the team’s starting quarterback in 2020 and has held that role ever since. Before the injury on Saturday, which was already set to be his final game at Doak Campbell Stadium as he rounds out his college eligibility, Travis had thrown for 2,755 yards and 20 touchdowns with only two interceptions. He also rushed for seven touchdowns.
