TALLAHASSEE – Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis was selected by the New York Jets in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday afternoon.
Travis, the 171st overall pick, is the seventh FSU player taken in the 2024 NFL Draft, joining defensive end Jared Verse, wide receiver Keon Coleman, defensive tackle Braden Fiske, defensive back Renardo Green, running back Trey Benson and defensive back Jarrian Jones. Verse on Thursday night became Florida State's 47th first-round pick in program history when he was selected 19th overall by the Rams. Coleman was the first selection Friday evening when the Buffalo Bills picked him 33rd overall, Fiske was picked by the Rams at No. 39 overall, Green went to the San Francisco 49ers at 64th overall, Benson was selected 66th overall by the Arizona Cardinals and Jones was picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars with pick number 96. Florida State now has 301 NFL Draft picks in its history, including 211 during its current streak of 41 straight drafts with at least one selection.
Travis played 46 games at Florida State and was 633-for-1,013 passing for 8,644 yards and 65 touchdowns while also compiling 1,910 yards and 31 touchdowns on 409 rushing attempts. The two-time all-conference performer ranks seventh on the ACC's career list for quarterback rushing touchdowns, 10th in touchdown responsibility, 11th in career passing efficiency and quarterback rushing yards and 13th on the ACC's list for total offense. He is Florida State's all-time leader in total offense, touchdown responsibility, quarterback rushing yards and quarterback rushing touchdowns. Travis broke FSU's career touchdown responsibility record on his game-winning touchdown pass in overtime of the 31-24 victory at Clemson and took over the program's career total offense record on his go-ahead rushing touchdown in Florida State's 38-20 win over No. 16 Duke.
The 2023 ACC Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year, Travis was 207-of-324 passing for 2,756 yards and 20 touchdowns with only two interceptions while adding 176 yards and seven touchdowns on 73 rushing attempts. He was the only player in the ACC and one of two nationally with 20 passing touchdowns and two or fewer interceptions and led the ACC in passing efficiency, yards per pass attempt and fewest interceptions thrown, the second-lowest total among quarterbacks nationally with at least 200 attempts. He ranked second in the conference in passing yards per game and yards per completion and ranked third in the ACC in points responsibility per game, total offense per game and completion percentage. Travis was the first player to lead the ACC in passing efficiency in back-to-back seasons since 2021 No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence in 2018-19.
Travis is the only player in FSU history with at least seven rushing touchdowns in four straight seasons, and his 31 career rushing touchdowns are fourth on FSU's career list. He tied with 2015 No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston for second in FSU history with 65 career passing touchdowns and is the only player in program history ranked in the top-10 in career passing and rushing touchdowns. Travis also ranks second on FSU's all-time career lists for passing yards and wins as a starting quarterback while standing third in completions and completion percentage.
The West Palm Beach, Florida, native was prolific at putting points on the scoreboard. He produced a program-record streak of 16 straight games accounting for multiple touchdowns and tied his own school record with a streak of four consecutive games with at least one rushing and one passing touchdown. Travis also produced a streak of 22 consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass and a stretch of 184 consecutive passes without an interception, the fifth-longest in FSU history and 13th-longest in ACC history. He had an active streak of 126 passes without an interception at the time of his season-ending injury and is the only player in program history with two streaks of at least 120 passes without an interception in the same season. Adding a streak of 120 passes in 2021, he is the only player at Florida State with three different streaks of at least 120 passes without an interception in a career.
Florida State's seven picks are the most in a single NFL Draft since 2015 when FSU tied the ACC record it set in 2013 with 11 selections. Live coverage of the 2024 NFL Draft continues Saturday on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network.
