Mike Norvell on Jordan Travis

“He’s had a great fall camp and I think we’ve talked about it a little bit after after each, you know, day kind of giving those updates. He was incredible. I mean, the work that he put in; you know, the consistency that he showed at the position each day. Even with mistakes that that might have been made the day prior, you got to see the response and just his growth at that at the position. You know, the leadership that he showed.

“One of the things that you look at, you look back at that and Coach Storms. He selects that at each of those kind of pivotal moments to mark the end of a camp. Or, with here, going into a game week the guy that breaks the rock. And one of the things that that he mentioned, which you see and you feel is just the approach that Jordan brought to the field every day.

“He did an unbelievable job of finishing plays. Did an unbelievable job of encouraging teammates. I mean, he went through fall camp with a smile on his face. You look at the work and the challenges that we try to create throughout fall camp. And I mean he just embraced that with an unbelievable attitude.

“I think that that really uplifted a lot of the guys on the team. Even when guys are going through tough moments. When you see one of the best players on your football team just going out there and enjoying it, having fun. I’m excited for Jordan. I’m excited for this year that’s ahead. I really believe that he’s got something special in front of him because of the work and that investment. But it was definitely a joy to see him break the rock.”
