Travis Hunter cherishes Heisman moment with GF Leanna Lenee in a cute picture: "Thank you GOD"

Travis Hunter recently reached a career-defining moment by winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy on Saturday, cementing his place as the best player in college football this season. The ceremony was a proud occasion not just for Hunter but also for his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, who shared the spotlight by his side.

On Sunday, Hunter posted a photo on Instagram, holding the iconic trophy alongside Lenee, which quickly gained attention, amassing over 200,000 likes in under nine hours. The post was captioned:

"Thank you GOD"

During his acceptance speech, Hunter took a moment to thank Lenee, even sharing a lighthearted story about how she introduced him to Lil Wayne's music. The anecdote surprised the crowd and added a personal touch to his speech.

"Wayne, you don't know how you came into our life. My fiancée loves you," Hunter said.

"I didn't know none of your songs until she let me know because I don't listen to music. She let me know, she told me, 'You gotta listen to this. If you're going to listen to (music), listen to Wayne.'"

Sitting next to Hunter’s mother, Ferrante Harris, Lenee had a touching moment during the ceremony. The two held hands and smiled as Hunter delivered his speech.

Travis Hunter's fiancée, Leanna Lenee, has a clear favorite when it comes to NFL teams—and it’s no secret she’s a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan. Lenee shared her love for the Packers in a 2022 YouTube video, noting her connection to the team through her godfather, who once coached them.

According to People, while Lenee wants Hunter to succeed no matter where he lands in the NFL, she admitted that rooting for a team she doesn’t like would be “hard.” That said, the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders are currently the top contenders to draft the Heisman winner, making a Green Bay connection seem unlikely.

Still, Lenee’s enthusiasm for her favorite team adds an interesting twist to Hunter’s journey toward the NFL. Packers fans can dream, right?
