College football fans, media send best wishes to Jordan Travis after gruesome injury
Published:
College football fans and media shared their condolences to Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis after he went down with an injury on Saturday night.
Travis suffered what appeared to be a significant leg injury in the first quarter against North Alabama. He immediately motioned for help from medical personnel after being tackled awkwardly at the end of a 17 yard run.
Travis was treated for several minutes on the field before being carted out of the stadium.
Here’s video of the injury (warning: it is graphic):

If that injury is as severe as it appears to be, it will end Travis’ incredible college football career. He is in his final season of eligibility and has long been considered one of the most impactful quarterbacks in the country.
Travis became the all-time leader in touchdowns responsible for at Florida State earlier this season. He also was a key part of FSU re-establishing itself as a college football powerhouse in 2023. FSU is 10-0 this season went a perfect 8-0 in ACC play for the first time since 2014.
This injury has a chance to have significant implications on the College Football Playoff race this season. FSU is currently No. 4 in the rankings, but the selection committee will have the ability to consider Travis’ availability (or lack-there-of) when it makes its final determination who makes the top 4.
Here’s some of the reaction from the college football community to Travis’ injury:
Jordan Travis was great for CFB. Just a brutal loss.

Absolutely gutted for Jordan Travis.
One of the best young men I’ve met covering this sport. A program changing player.
Heartbreaking.

Heartbroken for Jordan Travis. Just two years ago he nearly gave up on football altogether, but stuck with it to bring his “dream school” Florida State back to dominance. He went from being booed on his own field to a Heisman contender. He epitomizes what we love about college…

Oh no, Florida State.
Undefeated Seminoles, already somehow down 13-0 to three-win North Alabama, just lost star QB Jordan Travis to what looked like an awful leg injury.
People crying in the stands. Brutal.

I have watched the Jordan Travis video one time and that is enough. Absolutely sucks. He deserves to end his CFB career on a high note.
