Deion Sanders and Travis Hunter turned heads at the Heisman Trophy ceremony on Saturday, stepping out in style at the Lincoln Center in New York City. The duo arrived in high-fashion outfits, exuding elegance and confidence as they represented Colorado on one of the sport’s grandest stages.

Coach Prime appeared in a grey suit with a black coat. The Pro Football Hall of Famer also had a dark shade on while maintaining the clean shave he had against Oklahoma State. Travis Hunter, who is the odds-on favorite to win the award, was in a classy sky-blue suit with a pair of white shoes.

The two appearing at the ceremony in New York is a testament to Colorado’s progress this season. The Buffaloes went against the odds in the 2024 season, finishing with a 9-3 record.

Travis Hunter pays tribute to Deion Sanders

It’s undoubtedly a tense evening for Travis Hunter as he makes his way to the Heisman ceremony. However, ahead of a monumental evening in New York, Hunter paid tribute to the man who has been instrumental in shaping his journey—Colorado coach Deion Sanders.

In a heartfelt nod to his coach, Hunter carefully laid out his sky-blue suit and white shoes on the hotel room floor, sharing a picture of himself gazing thoughtfully at the ensemble. The gesture showcased Hunter's admiration and his effort to honor Sanders on this significant occasion.

The scene mirrors an iconic image of Deion Sanders' game-day attire meticulously arranged on the locker room floor ahead of Super Bowl XXIX during his time with the San Francisco 49ers. Hunter's gesture underscores the deep respect and gratitude he holds for Sanders' mentorship and impact on his career.

Deion Sanders’ continuous support for Travis Hunter in the Heisman race

Deion Sanders was full of support for Travis Hunter in the race for the Heisman Trophy. The coach continuously voiced his support for the two-way star in his media availability, noting why he should win the award. He certified his claims after the season finale against Oklahoma State.

“I think Travis clinched the Heisman,” Sanders said with a brief pause. “Thank you God, for stopping me. Because I almost said something. I think Travis clinched the Heisman with his performance. I think he made a lot of people aware of how ignorant they were with the Thorpe.”

It's been a wonderful time at the collegiate level between Sanders and Hunter. The two-way star followed the coach around in his college career, moving from Jackson State to Colorado. They're now set to part ways as Hunter makes his way to the professional stage.
