TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — In a statement released Monday by Florida State on X, starting quarterback Jordan Travis thanked everyone for the prayers and messages sent to him after his severe lower-leg injury Saturday and confirmed that he has played his final college football game for the Seminoles.

Travis’ left leg was placed in an air cast, and he was carted off the field late in the first quarter following a run up the middle of the 58-13 win over North Alabama. He posted updates on Sunday from his Instagram account, including some showing Seminoles teammates around him in the hospital room.
In a statement released Monday by the program, Travis says while the injury “marks the end of my Seminole playing career, the great memories created here at FSU will never fade. ... The journey this team set out on is not over yet as all of our goals still lie just ahead.”
Specific details about Travis’ injury or possible surgery have not been announced by Travis or Florida State.
Travis finished his FSU career with 8,715 passing yards — second in program history — with 66 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. He is the program’s all-time leader in offensive yards (10,676) and is among the top five on FSU’s all-time stats in most major categories, from completions to touchdown passes and wins by a quarterback.
The No. 5 Seminoles (11-0, No. 4 College Football Playoffs rankings) will face Florida (5-6) on Saturday in Gainesville. FSU will turn to Tate Rodemaker at quarterback, with freshman Brock Glenn as the likely backup.
It is unclear whether Jordan's injury will affect the Seminoles' College Football Playoff ranking when it is next released. When the Associated Press released its Top 25 rankings on Sunday night, Washington moved up to No. 4, passing Florida State. Both teams are undefeated.
The Seminoles also will face Louisville (10-1, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 10 in CFP rankings) in the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 2 in Charlotte, N.C.
