Two-way superstar Travis Hunter, the best all-around player in college football, is making his case to be this season’s Heisman Trophy winner. During Colorado’s game at UCF on Saturday, he reminded everyone of that when he struck the iconic Heisman pose following an interception.
With the Buffs up 34-14 in the third quarter, Knights quarterback KJ Jefferson threw a quick hitch to the outside but Hunter broke on the ball and laid out for a diving interception. Hunter then raced down the field before striking the Heisman pose. Hunter’s second pick of the season came on a day with 79 receiving yards and one touchdown (and counting) also to his name.
Desmond Howard made striking the Heisman pose famous during his 1991 Heisman campaign. With his Michigan Wolverines playing the Ohio State Buckeyes, Howard caught a punt at his own 7-yard line and raced 93 yards for a touchdown. In the back of the end zone, Howard cemented his place in history by striking the Heisman.
One can’t help but wonder if Hunter just did the same.
