Hunter’s two-way stardom is rare; not since Michigan’s Charles Woodson in 1997 has a Heisman winner played on both sides of the ball. In addition to the Heisman, Hunter this season was also named as a finalist for the awards given to college football’s top receiver and top defensive player. As a wide receiver, Hunter caught 92 passes to lead the Big 12 Conference and rank fifth in the country. Hunter, who has said he will enter the NFL draft following Colorado’s season, began his college career by upending expectations. Hunter is Colorado’s second Heisman winner, joining running back Rashaan Salaam in 1994.

Thank you.”Hunter joins the late Rashaan Salaam, who won the Heisman in 1994 with a 2,000-yard rushing season, as CU’s only Heisman winners. He’s the catalyst, he makes everything go and enables Travis to be Travis, but Travis Hunter is doing something we’ve never seen before.”Jeanty only played one position, but few in college football history have ever played it better. Again, Hunter was limited to nine games in 2023, this time after taking a late hit against Colorado State that left him with a lacerated liver. The injuries never deterred Sanders from playing Hunter as much as possible, and this season there was no denying the results. Led by Hunter and Shedeur, Colorado contended for the Big 12 title until the final weekend of the regular season.
