Following an injury that will rule him out for a couple of weeks, Colorado star Travis Hunter's girlfriend, Leanna Lenee, has shown her support publicly for the two-way player. Hunter has been a crucial player for Colorado on both sides of the field after the Buffs' brilliant start to the season.
Hunter left the Rocky Mountain Showdown at halftime on Saturday night after a violent hit from Colorado State safety Henry Blackburn during the first quarter. The Jackson State transfer was transported to a local hospital in Boulder for necessary medical attention as the Buffs won 43-35 in double overtime.
Leanna Lenee was notably by Travis Hunter's side at the hospital on Saturday, giving updates on the wide receiver/cornerback's health on her Instagram page. In further showing her support, she posted a picture of Hunter in a recent Instagram story on her account and wrote:
"With God you can never fail"
