In a heartbreaking update for Florida State Seminoles fans, the team’s star player, **Jordan Travis**, has announced that he will not return for the 2024 season. The senior quarterback, widely regarded as one of the most talented and dynamic quarterbacks in college football, shared the news with a message on social media this morning, leaving fans and the FSU football community in shock.
The 24-year-old Travis, who led the Seminoles to a successful 2023 season, including a notable win in the Cheez-It Bowl, revealed that after much thought and consultation with his family, doctors, and coaches, he has made the difficult decision to move on from his college career. The news follows a challenging season for the quarterback, which saw him battling through injuries while continuing to lead the team with poise and determination.
“I want to thank all of the coaches, teammates, and fans who have supported me throughout my journey at Florida State,” Travis wrote in his emotional statement. “This university has given me so much, and I’ll carry those memories with me forever. After careful consideration, I’ve decided it’s time to take the next step in my life and career. I will not be returning for the 2024 season.”
While the announcement is undoubtedly a blow to FSU’s future prospects, especially considering Travis’ status as one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, the decision comes as no surprise to those familiar with his recent struggles. Travis has been nursing a series of injuries this past season, including a significant shoulder issue, and has hinted at the possibility of preparing for the NFL draft in 2024.
Florida State head coach Mike Norvell expressed his full support for Travis in a statement released shortly after the news broke. “Jordan is a true leader both on and off the field,” Norvell said. “We are incredibly proud of everything he has accomplished during his time at Florida State, and we wish him nothing but success in whatever comes next. He will always be a Seminole, and his legacy here is secure.”
Travis’ decision marks the end of a remarkable chapter for FSU football. Over the past few seasons, he has not only been the face of the team but also one of the most exciting players in college football, with his dual-threat abilities leading the Seminoles to numerous victories. He finished the 2023 season with impressive stats, including over 3,000 passing yards and 25 total touchdowns.
As Florida State looks to the future, the loss of Travis will undoubtedly create a void, but the Seminoles’ fanbase and coaching staff remain hopeful that the next quarterback can continue the legacy of excellence established by one of FSU’s greatest players. Fans across the country now turn their attention to Travis’ next steps, as he looks toward the NFL and beyond.
