Travis Hunter Wins 2024 Heisman Trophy

Travis Hunter, the Colorado wide receiver and defensive back, has won the 2024 Heisman Trophy, marking a historic achievement as he becomes the first two-way player to secure the award since Charles Woodson in 1997. Hunter's impressive season included 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns, alongside standout defensive statistics of 81 tackles and 4 interceptions. He joins Rashaan Salaam as the only Heisman winners from Colorado. Finishing second in the voting was Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, who had an outstanding season himself, making history as the highest-finishing player from his school. The award highlights Hunter's significant contributions to the Buffaloes under coach Deion Sanders, where he excelled on both sides of the ball, leading the nation with dynamic play. With his remarkable dual-threat capability, Hunter is projected as a potential first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
