Early Wednesday afternoon, former Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis announced his retirement from the NFL after spending just one season with the New York Jets. After suffering a devastating injury in November 2023 that would end his collegiate career, Travis was selected by the Jets in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft with the 171st overall pick. In his lone professional season, Travis was unable to take the field due to his injury and rehab process.
"On November 18th, 2023, my life +c areer took an unexpected turn. I gave everything I had to the rehab process, but despite my efforts, my leg never responded the way we hoped. After much prayer and consultation with my doctors + medical team, I have been medically advised to retire from the game I love so deeply," Travis explained in a handwritten note posted on social media.
The former Seminole great holds numerous FSU records, including total touchdowns, total offense, quarterback rushing yards, and quarterback rushing touchdowns. Travis was an integral part of the 2023 ACC Championship team, and finished 5th in the 2023 Heisman trophy race. Following the heartbreaking news, many of Travis' former teammates and coaches took to social media to voice their support for the young quarterback.
