Florida State Seminoles quarterback Jordan Travis will not return to the team for the 2024 season and will enter the transfer portal, according to reports. This decision comes after Travis suffered a leg injury in a November 18th game against Charleston Southern, effectively ending his college career. Backup quarterback Brock Castellanos finished the season in Travis’s place.
Travis’s Career and Injury
Travis, a senior, had a strong season before his injury, completing 60.8% of his passes for 2,142 yards, 18 touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also contributed 176 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Mikey Keene, another quarterback on the roster, opted out of the final game to preserve a year of eligibility, anticipating a potential chance with the transfer portal.
Castellanos Steps In
Brock Castellanos, a 5-foot-11 quarterback, took over for Travis and completed 58.3% of his passes for 2,760 yards this season, with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions.He also led the Seminoles (13-1) with 557 yards rushing and nine scores. ESPN reported on the severity of Travis’s injury shortly after it occurred.
Looking ahead for the Seminoles
With Travis’s departure and Castellanos preparing for the NFL draft, Florida State faces a significant question mark at the quarterback position. The team will likely look to the transfer portal and its current roster to find a solution for the 2024 season. The Seminoles finished the 2023 season with a 13-1 record, winning the ACC Championship but were controversially left out of the College Football Playoff.
