FSU football: Three possible wide receiver options on the roster?

Travis Jay

The third highest-ranked player in the 2019 recruiting class, Travis Jay, hasn’t lived up to lofty expectations after sitting out the 2019 season. Jay has dealt with injuries and position changes that have contributed to those issues.

The praise coming out of fall camp felt like he was on the precipice of turning the corner as a defensive back. However, he routinely lost 50/50 opportunities and saw his playing time decrease compared to his freshman season.

Jay is arguably one of the most physically talented players on the roster. He lists at 6’2″ and 203 pounds, with the leaping ability to jump out of the gym.

We know he can high-point a ball and catch it as evidence of FSU putting him in the game in obvious hail mary plays.

He was often in a position to make plays on the defense but couldn’t make them. However, I believe if he can play coverage and be in position, I see no reason why he can’t be effective when he’s dictating where the action goes off the line of scrimmage.

He’s physical and has some wiggle, which was evident when he played quarterback for his high school team. FSU football has some talented players coming in the secondary, and a move to receiver may be where he can finally make the impact he wants while helping fill a roster need.
