Florida State Seminoles QB Jordan Travis: College Football Career Likely Done

Barring an absolute miracle, Travis will miss the remainder of the college football season (and potentially more) after being carted off the field on Saturday. The 23-year-old finished the year with 2,736 passing yards and 20 touchdowns to two picks. He completed 64% of his passes while also running for seven scores. Travis struggled during his first four college football seasons, including as a freshman with the Louisville Cardinals in 2018, but took massive strides forward last season. The six-foot-one gunslinger threw for 3,214 yards, 24 touchdowns, and five picks while leading FSU to a 10-3 record in 2022.

Travis will close the book on his stellar college career with 97 touchdowns. He led the Seminoles to a sparkling 20-3 record over the past two seasons. Per CBS Sports, Travis entered this weekend as the 117th prospect for the 2024 NFL draft.

Florida State Seminoles: QB Plans Without Travis

Quarterback Tate Rodemaker will get the first crack at leading the Florida State Seminoles with Travis out. As the replacement for Travis, he went 7-of-11 for 117 yards during the first half against North Alabama. Rodemaker has played four seasons with Florida State, throwing five touchdowns to five interceptions on 70 passes.
