Jordan Travis retires from NFL due to leg injury

Jordan Travis, former Florida State University quarterback and 2024 New York Jets draft pick, has medically retired from football due to ongoing complications from a severe leg injury sustained during a November 2023 game against North Alabama. Despite extensive rehabilitation efforts, Travis announced on social media that his leg never recovered sufficiently, leading doctors to advise retirement for his long-term health. Travis was a standout at FSU, finishing his college career with over 8,600 passing yards, 65 passing touchdowns, and numerous school records, and was celebrated for his leadership and dual-threat abilities. His injury not only ended his playing career but also significantly impacted Florida State's season, as the team missed the College Football Playoff and later struggled in subsequent seasons. Both the Jets organization and the FSU community expressed their support and gratitude for Travis, who plans to remain involved with the Seminoles program and complete his degree. His journey has inspired fans and athletes, marking the end of a notable college football career.
