Colorado wide receiver and defensive back Travis Hunter has been building an impressive Heisman Trophy campaign throughout the 2024 college football season, and he entered the Buffaloes’ Week 5 game against UCF as one of the Heisman favorites with the seventh-best odds at +1600, per BetMGM.
The two-way player is undeniably one of the best in college football, taking an absurd amount of snaps each week. Saturday’s road game against the Knights was no exception with Hunter playing a lot of minutes.
Midway through the third quarter as Colorado led, 34-14, UCF had a new set of downs on its own 36-yard line when Hunter came out of nowhere to intercept KJ Jefferson’s pass. Hunter was several yards away from the intended receiver but dove and caught the ball for an impressive turnover.
