Travis Hunter Heisman Odds after Week 2: Colorado two-way star's chances to win the coveted title

Travis Hunter was a popular Heisman Trophy pick going into the season because of his two-way ability. The Colorado Buffaloes star is considered remarkable because he plays both wide receiver and cornerback for the Colorado Buffaloes. However, after two weeks, he's no longer among the Heisman favorites.

What are Travis Hunter's Heisman Trophy odds after Week 2?

Hunter's Heisman Trophy odds have dropped after Week 2. He is currently given +5500 odds by FanDuel, which placed him tied for 17th. While he's still in contention, he's now behind several other players.

Hunter's odds fell after his performance in the Buffaloes' 28-10 defeat to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday. He showed his frustration after the game, visibly venting to Deion Sanders, who tried to calm him.

After scoring three touchdowns and averaging 18.9 yards per catch in Week 1, he did not score and averaged just 11 yards per catch in Week 2. On defense, he had three tackles but only one was a solo tackle compared to his three the previous week.

Can Travis Hunter get back in the Heisman Trophy race?

It's still early in the season, so Travis Hunter isn't out of the Heisman Trophy race. He fell a few places this week, but could easily move up with a good performance next week. As one of the presumptive top picks for the 2025 NFL draft, he will get a lot of media attention, which can help his trophy odds.

Notably, Hunter isn't among the top teams in the country. Whereas, other Heiman contenders like Quinn Ewers, Cameron Ward and Carson Beck play for the top teams in the nation.

The Buffaloes are up against the Colorado State Rams on Saturday. Last year, on Sept. 16, Colorado won 43-25 in a double overtime game. Hunter was injured in the first half after a sideline hit to his midsection and was later diagnosed with a lacerated liver.
