Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter wins 2024 Heisman Trophy
Despite not making the College Football Playoff, Colorado star Travis Hunter did enough on the field to convince voters he was worthy of the Heisman Trophy.
Sports Pulse
Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter never seems to rest. He almost never leaves the field in football. And now he just put on a basketball jersey at Colorado to show what he could do with the roundball Saturday before the Colorado men’s basketball team played Bellarmine in Boulder.
He flew through the air, dunked the ball and casually did a between-the-legs slam as if he were competing in an NBA dunking contest.
He didn’t play in the basketball game but looked like he could have.
He attended the game to take part in pregame and halftime ceremonies honoring him and his Colorado football teammates before they head to San Antonio to play BYU in the Alamo Bowl Dec. 28.
It will be his last college football game before he is expected to be a top NFL draft pick in April.
