TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — In a heartbreaking announcement, Florida State senior quarterback Jordan Travis revealed that a severe leg injury sustained during Saturday’s game will prematurely end his season. The injury occurred in the first quarter of the Seminoles’ commanding 58-13 victory over North Alabama, as Travis was carted off the field with his left leg immobilized in an air cast.

Travis, a pivotal player for the No. 5 Seminoles (11-0, No. 4 CFP), shared the news with fans through social media. On Instagram, he posted updates from his hospital room, including images of his teammates visiting him. His message was one of gratitude and resilience: “I am incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from my teammates, coaches, the Florida State community, and fans worldwide,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Although this injury brings my time as a Seminole to an end, the memories I’ve made here will always stay with me.”

As Florida State gears up for their upcoming game against Florida on Saturday, the team faces a significant shift. Travis’ absence means that Tate Rodemaker, who has demonstrated his capabilities in previous games, will take over as quarterback. Rodemaker, with a career completion rate of 60.2% and a record of seven touchdowns and five interceptions, is stepping into a critical role. Florida State coach Mike Norvell expressed confidence in Rodemaker’s ability to lead the team. “His performance didn’t surprise any of us,” Norvell said. “We’ve seen him excel before. He’s ready for this opportunity.”

The specifics of Travis’ injury and potential surgery remain undisclosed. As a sixth-year player, Travis’ collegiate career has been distinguished by remarkable achievements. He concludes his time at Florida State with 8,715 passing yards, ranking second in the program’s history, and is among the top five in several key statistical categories. His impact on the team extends beyond his impressive statistics; he has been a central figure in FSU’s resurgence and success.

The Seminoles’ aspirations for the season are not entirely dashed by Travis’ injury. With an undefeated record and a strong position in the College Football Playoff standings, Florida State remains in contention for a significant postseason run. It remains uncertain whether Travis will be able to travel with the team to Gainesville or attend the ACC Championship game against ninth-ranked Louisville on December 2.

Despite the challenges, Travis remains optimistic about the team’s prospects. “The journey isn’t over,” he said. “I’m excited to support my teammates as we chase our goals together. We’re all we need, and the job’s not finished.” His unwavering support and belief in his team highlight the strong bond within the Seminoles and their continued pursuit of excellence, even in the face of adversity.
