Travis

Travis suffered a catastrophic leg injury during his final collegiate season and was never expected to play in 2024. Jets coaches have hinted since the summer that Travis — a fifth-round selection — has been well behind in his recovery. The best-case scenario would seem to be Travis recovering in time for the team’s offseason practices and workouts. He has no clear path to playing time in 2025 and beyond.

The Jets have been labeling the fifth-round rookie as behind schedule since the beginning of training camp. It’s not exactly encouraging but is hardly surprisingly considering the extremely serious nature of Travis’ college ailment. We probably aren’t going to see Travis taking real practice reps until next year’s offseason program.

Travis suffered a devastating ankle injury last November and has been rehabbing ever since. The Jets used a fifth-round pick on Travis, who was believed to have a chance to be ready by training camp. Unfortunately, that did not materialize, as Travis opened camp on the NFI list with no timetable given for his return. This season was always going to be a redshirt year for Travis as he looks to recover from his injury and get acclimated to the pro game. It’s unlikely he’ll see the field this season even once healthy.

Travis continues to rehab from a severe ankle injury he suffered in mid-November. That injury kept him from working out at the NFL Scouting Combine and Florida State’s pro day and also sidelined him for the rookie minicamp. Earlier reports before the draft suggested Travis would be fully cleared by April, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. There’s no immediate rush to get the 2024 fifth-round pick, as he’s largely expected to redshirt his rookie year behind Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor. Still, the team would like to get him plenty of reps in the preseason as they look to see what the dual-threat rookie could offer them in the future.

A strong 2023 campaign ended in tragedy for Travis (6’1/200), who suffered a fractured leg in November and was unable to workout at the NFL combine. Another six-year prospect in this year’s class, Travis didn’t get a chance to shine until 2021, when he started the Seminoles’ final seven games of the season. He went on to be a full-time starter in 2022 and 2023, throwing for 5970-44-7 over that span while adding another 593 yards and 14 scores on the ground. He’s shown significant growth throughout his career, and has done a good job of limiting turnovers and sacks – especially in his final two years. It was reported in March that Travis should be fully cleared to participate in football activities come April. He will sit behind Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor in the Jets’ quarterback room to begin his career.

Travis suffered a gruesome injury in mid-November that brought an early end to his 2023 season and college career. The Florida State prospect spent six seasons in school and spent his final two years as the Seminoles’ full-time starter, throwing for 5,970-44-7 over that span. Expected to be viewed as a fringe Day 3 pick or priority UDFA, Travis has solid athleticism and could make a practice squad roster this offseason, giving him additional time to develop.

This game went exactly how one would envision when they think of Florida State vs. Duquesne. The Seminoles outgained the Dukes 638 yards to 164 yards, with three different players rushing for over 100 yards on the day. Travis had a solid day through the air and managed to find the end zone on a five-yard touchdown run to kick off the first quarter. Entering 2022 as the Noles’ QB1, Travis has a chance to show what he’s fully capable of after a strong 2021 season. FSU’s competition will look a little different next week when they travel to LSU to take on the Tigers in a Sunday night battle on September 4th.

Travis (6'1/201) has the making of a rising star after a successful 2021 campaign in which he lead FSU to a 5-2 record down the stretch. Travis threw for 1,539 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions while also rushing for 134-530-7. A dual-threat with the potential to establish himself as one of the nation’s best QBs in 2022, Travis and the Seminoles could turn into a legitimate threat in the ACC after going 4-4 in conference play last season.

Travis (6'1/201) struggled early in 2021 with McKenzie Milton behind him on the depth chart, but was able to regain the stranglehold on the starting job. One of the reasons he di that was his success throwing with motion before the snap. On 42 attempts, Travis completed 71.4% of his passes with a passer rating of 198.1, good for second in the nation behind only Coastal Carolina’s Grayson McCall. With more of that coming this season, it could help Travis take the massive leap that some expect from him.

Travis (6'1"/201) is coming off the best season of his collegiate career by throwing for 1,539 yards and 15 touchdowns while also rushing for 530 yards and seven touchdowns. While the passing numbers don’t jump out at you, he got much better later in the season by throwing for over 200 yards in his last three games, and Florida State went from starting the season losing three straight to winning five of their final seven. If Travis can be a true dual-threat, the Seminoles could make some noise in the ACC.
