Travis Hunter hilariously rejects Cam Newton's attempts to meet him during Colorado's UCF takedown

Colorado’s Travis Hunter had fans laughing as he humorously brushed off Cam Newton’s attempt to meet him during the Buffaloes’ 48-21 win over UCF. With Deion Sanders’ squad now 4-1 overall and 2-0 in Big 12 play, the Buffs continue to shine, while UCF falls to 3-1 after their Saturday loss.

Hunter stole the spotlight again. In a lighthearted moment shared on X, former Panthers QB Cam Newton tried twice to greet him, but Hunter waved him off with a playful "nah" gesture, leaving Newton smiling.

On the field, Hunter’s performance was all business. He caught 9 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown and pulled off a diving interception off UCF’s quarterback, KJ Jefferson. After the interception, he even celebrated with a bold Heisman pose.

While UCF was favored, Colorado dominated, with QB Shedeur Sanders connecting with Hunter on a brilliant 23-yard touchdown in the first quarter, capping an impressive 11-play, 80-yard drive.

Hunter’s standout Week 5 performance, which included 89 receiving yards, a TD, two tackles, and an interception, has reignited Heisman buzz around him.

“My man hit the Heisman on they ***," Woodson wrote on X. "Imagine that Heisman commercial when I bring some help on defense.”
