FSU Football Star Jordan Travis Delivers Message to Community Following Final Game
The conclusion of Florida State's 2023 season in the Orange also marked the final game in garnet and gold for multiple players who have made a memorable impact in Tallahassee.
Star quarterback Jordan Travis wasn't able to suit up for the contest after suffering a season-ending leg injury last month in the home finale win against North Alabama. Despite seeing his college career end and losing his shot at leading his team to a championship in one play, Travis displayed his character by staying dialed in with the Seminoles.
The redshirt senior never blinked while transitioning to the field from the sideline. He continued to show up at practices and games to support his teammates. It wasn't just with his presence either, Travis was constantly doing his part to give true freshman Brock Glenn advice during practice or on the sideline in between drives.
It's wild to think about all that Travis went through during his time in Tallahassee. Following his final game as a player at Florida State, he took to social media to deliver a message and express his thanks to the community.
"Thank you Florida State University. Thank you to my teammates and coaches. What a journey and I wouldn’t change a thing. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” God is great all the damn time."
Travis completed 207/234 passes for 2,756 yards with 20 touchdowns to two interceptions while rushing 73 times for 167 yards and seven more scores on the ground. He ends his time with the program as Florida State's all-time leader in total touchdowns (98), total yards of offense (10,665 yards), rushing yards by a QB (1,950) yards, and QB rushing touchdowns (31).
The Florida native is the only player in program history to be ranked in the top 10 on the Seminoles' career passing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns lists. Travis is ranked fourth in school history in rushing touchdowns behind Dalvin Cook, Greg Allen, and Warrick Dunn.
Travis finishes his time in garnet and gold with 28 victories as the starting quarterback, tied for No. 2 on the all-time list with Chris Rix. He guided the Seminoles to back-to-back double-digit win campaigns for the first time since 2015-16 and helped the program climb out of a tumultuous stretch.
During his college career, Travis appeared in 49 games, with 38 starts, and completed 637/1,027 passes for 8,715 yards with 66 touchdowns to 20 interceptions. He also rushed 417 times for 1,950 yards with 31 more scores while adding three catches for 11 yards and a touchdown.
