Today is a big day for college football and the Colorado Buffaloes. Their star QB, Travis Hunter, won the Heisman Trophy after dominating both offense and defense all season. This victory wraps up his trophy chase with a proud moment.
From the start, Travis Hunter was the favorite for the Heisman Trophy, but after Friday night, Jeanty’s impressive performance shook things up. Hunter’s odds decreased from -5000 to -1000, indicating a brief challenge to his lead.
Despite this, Hunter’s outstanding season kept him in the race, and he ultimately claimed the Heisman Trophy. However, Travis Hunter’s path to the Heisman Trophy has not been easy but also amazing.
If Travis Hunter wins the Heisman the luster and prestige of the award is in danger of being discounted.

Hunter showed incredible skills after following Coach Deion Sanders from Jackson State to Colorado. He ended the regular season with a big 52-0 win over Oklahoma State.
Hunter had 92 catches for 1,152 yards this season and 14 touchdowns on offense. On defense, he made 31 tackles, 11 pass breakups, four interceptions, and one forced fumble. This achievement could make it easier for him to join the NFL.

However, not everyone agrees. Some believe Ashton Jeanty deserved the trophy.
One player is playing tonight, one player isn’t.

One player is sending their team to the CFP, one player isn’t.
Ashton Jeanty is your Heisman trophy winner, Travis Hunter isn’t.

Travis Hunter is the Heisman. Until Jeanty can go and have the same impact for BSU on the defensive side of the ball as he does offense in the same game. Travis shuts down an entire half of the field defensively and opens an entire half of the field offensively. #HE12MAN
