Jordan Travis Retires from Football After Injury

Jordan Travis, Florida State's all-time leader in touchdown responsibility and a recent fifth-round pick by the New York Jets, has announced his retirement from football following medical advice due to a severe leg injury sustained in November 2023. Despite extensive rehabilitation, Travis's leg did not recover as hoped, leading to his difficult decision to step away from the game. His retirement prompted an outpouring of support from former teammates, coaches, and the broader football community, who praised his leadership, resilience, and impact both on and off the field. Travis's 2023 season was particularly notable, as he led the Seminoles to an undefeated regular season, and his absence is widely believed to have contributed to the team's exclusion from the College Football Playoff. While his NFL career was cut short before he could play a regular season game, his legacy at Florida State remains significant, cementing him as one of the program's most productive and beloved quarterbacks. Many in the FSU community hope he will remain involved with the university in some capacity.
