On November 18, 2023, Travis experienced a serious leg injury against North Alabama.[11] He was fighting for extra yards, but his left leg was caught underneath a defender, causing his ankle to twist awkwardly. An air cast was placed on his leg and he was carted off. On November 20, 2023, Travis announced that the injury was season-ending and would also end his college football career. Travis finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting behind Marvin Harrison Jr., Bo Nix, Michael Penix Jr., and eventual winner Jayden Daniels.
