Grayson‘s chances of repeating as Georgia’s Class 6A state champions sustained a huge blow on Thursday with the news that senior quarterback Travis Burgess, a North Carolina commit, will miss the rest of the season due to an injury.

The four-star quarterback broke the news via a social media post.

I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers, calls, and messages— it truly means the world to me. A special thanks to my family, my coaches, my teammates, the Grayson community, and the University of North Carolina coaches, players, and fans for their encouragement and support. Playing under the Friday night lights at Grayson these past two years has been the experience of a lifetime. Unfortunately, due to the injury I suffered last Friday, I won’t be able to finish out the season with my brothers on the field. It has been a blessing to represent Grayson, play in front of such amazing fans, and be coached by some of the best.

This is just the start of my journey. I look forward to recovery, and I’m excited for the next chapter at UNC. Thank you again for all the love and support! Much love, TB

Through two games this season, Burgess had completed 16-of-31 passes for 329 yards and three touchdowns. The senior signal caller led the Rams to the GHSA Class 6A crown last fall, throwing for 2,255 yards and 23 touchdowns.

Junior quarterback Deuce Smith appeared in relief of Burgess last week against Rabun Gap-Nacoochee. He completed 5-of-7 passes for 37 yards.

Grayson (2-0) is currently ranked No. 7 in the Rivals High School Football Composite Rankings. The Rams will take on No. 22 Thompson, an Alabama powerhouse, on Friday night.
