Jordan Travis QB vs. Thomas Castellanos QB
Jordan Travis has been a keystone for the Seminoles’ offense, completing 38 out of 60 passing attempts for a total of 517 yards. With a completion percentage of 63.3% and a commendable 8.6 yards-per-pass-attempt average, Travis has proven to be both accurate and aggressive. His 6 passing touchdowns against just a single interception further underline his prowess and decision-making. His passer rating of 165.4 serves as a testament to his quality play.
Thomas Castellanos, at the helm of the Eagles, brings in a decent completion rate of 58.8%, averaging 6.6 yards per pass. Accumulating 339 passing yards with four touchdowns and a lone interception, Castellanos shows promise. However, his slightly lower passer rating of 136.6 compared to Travis might indicate a little less efficiency in leading his offensive unit.
While both quarterbacks exhibit strong skills, Travis’s slightly better metrics give the Seminoles an edge. The duel showcases a battle between Travis’s aggressiveness and Castellanos’s potential. Although both have managed their interception count well, the overall command of Travis in dictating play with higher yardage and completion percentages might pose challenges for the Eagles’ defense.
