Two-way superstar Travis Hunter is undeniably one of the best players in college football and a popular name in current Heisman Trophy discussions. The only question is, can his Colorado Buffaloes win enough games to bring the Heisman back to Boulder?
Heisman Trophy recipients typically play for a team in the running for the national championship. Three notable exceptions include Tim Tebow (2007), Lamar Jackson (2016) and last year’s winner, Jayden Daniels. Tebow’s Florida Gators and Jackson’s Louisville Cardinals each won nine games while Daniels’ LSU Tigers finished 13th in the final College Football Playoff rankings.
Hunter himself even described the Heisman as a team award when discussing what winning it would mean to him:
“Earning the Heisman would mean so much,” Hunter told USA TODAY Sports in a recent interview. “It’s more than an individual award — it’s a reflection of the hard work and dedication of my teammates, coaches, and supporters. It’s a collective achievement and a celebration for us all.”
