Jordan Travis as starter

Last year, Travis started six games and had mixed results as Florida State’s quarterback. He completed 55 percent of his passes with 1,056 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions. Travis also ran for 559 yards and seven touchdowns.

Previously, Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell said that the team had a pretty good idea of how the quarterback room would look heading into the season.

“We’re going to continue to evaluate that,” Norvell said. “As a staff, we’ll have a pretty good plan going into next week of what we want it to look like. At the end of the day, it’s always a constant competition. If there was just one piece of it, it probably would be a little bit easier. We’ve got some talented guys. Guys that are competing at a high level. We’re going to continue to see that as we progress through.”
