Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter was back in practice preparing for the Buffaloes' Alamo Bowl clash against the BYU Cougars a few days after claiming a historic 90th Heisman Trophy in New York on Saturday. Hunter opted to play in the bowl game despite being a projected high first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Hunter's sensational Heisman win has overshadowed his other recognition of being the only player to have won both the Bednarik (best defensive player) and Biletnikoff (best receiver) Awards.

In a clip posted by "Overtime" on Thursday, the Heisman-winning star reminded fans of his stunning achievements by dancing with the awards arrayed on a table behind him.

Some fans chose to focus on the negative aspects of Hunter winning the awards.

Travis Hunter deals with controversy post-Heisman win

Despite winning the much-coveted Heisman Trophy, the week has been rough for Travis Hunter and his fiancee, Leanna Lenee. Lenee has faced massive backlash from fans and analysts due to two viral videos.

The first clip was from a pre-Heisman ceremony at an Adidas pop-up event as she seemed to get upset at the Colorado star for taking pictures with fans. The other was from the Heisman ceremony when Lenee seemed to be prodded by Colorado coach Deion Sanders to get up and hug Hunter after he was announced as the winner.

On Tuesday, Travis Hunter posted a video on his Twitch account defending his fiancee once again after the wave of criticism she has faced.

“You ain’t never had no girl so why are y’all talking about me,” Hunter said. “Find someone else to talk about. … Go talk about your girl. Go find a girl. Go find a life. Stop worrying about what I got going on. I know what I got.

“Y’all hate on me then you go hate on my girl. I feel the same thing that she feels. We’re inseparable. We’re with each other. If she’s hurting I’m hurting [and vice versa] … she’s still sleeping. She’s numb. You know when you’re hurt you just cry yourself to sleep and you be gone. She’s drunk OD amount tonight for no reason."

Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee got engaged in February and have set a wedding date of May 24 next year after he has been drafted into the NFL. In the meantime, the Colorado star and his fiancee are having their relationship put under the microscope even more after Hunter won the Heisman and became the face of college football.
