Jordan Travis, a fifth-round pick from Florida State, has informed the New York Jets that he intends to retire due to a serious injury to his left leg sustained in his final college game against North Alabama in November 2023.
Travis had completed 63.9% of his passes with 20 touchdowns and 2 interceptions during his time at FSU before the injury, leading the team to an undefeated 11-0 record. He finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting. Despite rehabbing during the rookie minicamp last spring, Travis was unable to regain full functionality in his leg.
The Jets announced that they support Travis’ decision and wish him well. The West Palm Beach native had a successful collegiate career at Louisville before transferring to FSU, where he broke multiple records with 99 total touchdowns and over 10,665 yards of total offense.
