Florida State landed quarterback Jordan Travis as a transfer from Louisville as a late Christmas present this Boxing Day Wednesday. Travis is a class of 2018 quarterback from the Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Florida. Ranked a high three-star prospect by all the major recruiting services, he committed to Louisville in the summer of 2017.
Louisville was not the only offer Travis had, however. According to Rivals, Florida Atlantic offered him a scholarship— while current FSU offensive coordinator Kendal Briles was there. Baylor offered Travis as well, and while the timeline is not entirely clear, Briles may have been on the Bears’ staff at the time.
