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.

Colorado star Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy as the top individual player in college football, capping one of the most unique seasons we have ever seen. A multi-dimensional threat, Hunter led Colorado's turnaround season while playing nearly full-time on both sides of the ball.

During his emotional acceptance speech, Hunter gave a delightful shout-out to rap legend Lil Wayne (who sat with Hunter at the ceremony) and thanked those who helped him get to where he is now. As far as Heisman speeches go, Hunter might as well be given another trophy. He knocked this one out of the park and then some.
