Coach Prime helped the No. 23 Colorado Buffaloes secure bowl eligibility for the first time since 2016. This was a significant improvement over their 4-8 record in 2023. The Buffaloes (9-3) enjoyed an outstanding season that nearly earned them a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game.

One of his star players, two-way star Travis Hunter, is the presumptive favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. He has been named as one of four candidates alongside Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel.

However, Coach Prime has said several times this season that he thinks his son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, should also have been in consideration for Heisman.

On Tuesday, a fan shared a graphic comparing Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. It indicated that Sanders had 3,926 passing yards compared to Gabriel's 3,558, 35 touchdowns versus Gabriel's 28, and eight interceptions against Gabriel's six.

Despite having better stats in most categories, Gabriel was nominated over Sanders as the Heisman finalist. Coach Prime had a two-word response to this post:

"Lawd Jesus!"

How likely is it for Coach Prime's two-way star Travis Hunter to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy?

Travis Hunter has had a stellar and unique season, performing as both a top wide receiver and cornerback this season.

His play has made him the betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. He is a massive favorite over other finalists.

  1. Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter (-4000)
  2. Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty (+1100)
  3. Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel (+40,000)
  4. Miami QB Cam Ward (+50,000)

While four players are nominated, it's clear that it is a race between two players, Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty. Hunter had one of the best two-way seasons of all time, whereas Jeanty had one of the best rushing seasons of all time.

However, Hunter has pushed ahead of the pack in recent weeks. Most analysts appear to agree that Hunter will win the Heisman Trophy, and the bookies' betting odds reflect this. Although Jeanty has many admirers in the college football world, the widespread assumption is that Travis Hunter will win the 2024 Heisman Trophy.
