Jordan Travis (born May 2, 2000) is an American football quarterback for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles and Louisville Cardinals. In 2023 he led the Seminoles to their first undefeated regular season since 2014. This performance led to him becoming a Heisman trophy candidate.

Early life

Travis was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, and attended Palm Beach Central High School. After his Sophomore year, he transferred to The Benjamin School where he graduated in 2018. Coming out of high school he was ranked No. 24 dual-threat quarterback by 247Sports.[2][3] His brother Devon Travis played baseball at Florida State under Mike Martin.

College career

Louisville

Travis began his college career committing to the Louisville Cardinals over the Baylor Bears.[4] Playing just 3 games, he completed 4-of-14 passing and 40 on the ground. In November 2018, Travis announced he would be transferring.[5]

Florida State

On Dec. 22, 2018 Travis announced he would be transferring to Florida State.[6][7] He spent five seasons with the Florida State Seminoles,[8] leading the team to ten win seasons as a redshirt junior and senior. He transferred to FSU in 2019 under head coach Willie Taggart but did not take the field until Taggart was fired.[9] During his time as a Seminole, Travis became the first Florida State starting quarterback to win three games against rival Miami.[10] In his senior season, Travis was named one of 20 semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award.[10]

On November 18, 2023, Travis experienced a serious leg injury against North Alabama.[11] He was fighting for extra yards, but his left leg was caught underneath a defender, causing his ankle to twist awkwardly. An air cast was placed on his leg and he was carted off. On November 20, 2023, Travis announced that the injury was season-ending and would also end his college football career. Travis would go on to finish fifth in Heisman Trophy voting behind Marvin Harrison Jr., Bo Nix, Michael Penix Jr., and eventual winner Jayden Daniels.
