Florida State's football program suffered a significant blow to their national championship aspirations as starting quarterback Jordan Travis revealed that his playing career with the Seminoles has come to an end. The announcement came following an injury sustained during a game against North Alabama.

During the first half of the game, Travis suffered a leg injury after being tackled while scrambling, with his leg caught underneath a defender. He was subsequently placed on a cart with an air cast on his left leg, signaling a serious injury.

In a statement released on the team's social media platform, Travis expressed his gratitude for the experiences he had at Florida State University. While acknowledging that the injury effectively marks the end of his playing career as a Seminole, he emphasized the cherished memories and the privilege it was to be the quarterback at FSU.

Despite the setback, Travis remains committed to supporting his teammates and their pursuit of the team's goals. "The journey this team set out on is not over yet as all of our goals still lie just ahead," he said. Travis expressed his excitement about standing by his teammates' sides as they continue to strive for success, echoing the sentiment that they are united and responsible for each other's success. He concluded by proclaiming, "Job's not finished. Go Noles!"

Following his injury, Travis is expected to focus on rehabilitating and potentially enter the NFL Draft. However, projections suggest that he is not likely to be one of the top picks, with quarterbacks Caleb Williams from USC and Drake Maye from North Carolina being favored early selections.

Before the unfortunate injury, Jordan Travis was in contention for the coveted Heisman Trophy. He had amassed an impressive 2,756 passing yards and recorded 20 touchdown passes during the 2023 season.

Despite the setback, Florida State managed to secure a victory in the game against North Alabama, bringing their record to an undefeated 11-0. However, the team's drop from the top four in the latest Associated Press Top 25 college football poll highlights the impact of Travis' injury on the program's rankings.

The Seminoles now face a demanding schedule ahead, with a crucial matchup against in-state rival, the Florida Gators, followed by the ACC Championship clash with Louisville. As the team presses forward without Travis, they will need to rely on their collective efforts to overcome adversity and maintain their pursuit of championship glory.
