Other candidates for the Heisman at this point in the season includes Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Travis has led Florida State to an 8-0 start to begin the year.
Florida State has not had a Heisman Trophy winner since Jameis Winston won it in 2013. Winston led the Seminoles to the BCS National Championship that season as well.
Here’s some of the Heisman-related reaction to Travis’ big day in Winston-Salem:

Why should Jordan Travis win the Heisman? Plays like that one. Eludes rusher and instead of immediately pulling it down and running on 3rd and long, he stays patient, finds his tight end coming open and throws for a first down …

It’s time to start acknowledging Jordan Travis in the Heisman conversation. It may not be the flashiest, but JT has complete control of this undefeated FSU team. So smooth, so confident, such a leader.
