FSU Football: Top 5 players set to improve during 2022 Spring Practice

Jordan Travis

Jordan Travis will need to be the anomaly in my puzzle metaphor. His scrambling helps compensate for the deficiencies of the offensive line (although they are diminishing deficiencies). It can help answer the questions at running back and be a catalyst for the offense in general.

He has continued to make strides as a passer, and Kenny Dillingham, the previous QB coach/offensive coordinator, claimed that Travis can produce at a pro-level. What does the offense look like if he takes that next step?

It’ll look like a defense hanging back respecting all of Travis’ skills. The offensive line is then sufficient enough to create a pocket and provide enough time for receivers to get open.
The wide receiver transfers are successful and can win off the line and win deep throughout their routes.

The running backs Lawrance Toafili and Treshaun Ward become more productive, and one of Trey Benson, DJ Williams, and Corey Wren emerge as a third option in the room as a utility piece.
The defense will be well-rested and can produce at a high level. Maybe he isn’t the anomaly of the puzzle piece theory but is the piece that can develop to continue to raise the expectation and performance of this squad.

Should he take that next step, with the weapons around him, Dillingham’s prognostication may not be far off.
