Travis Hunter Wins 2024 Heisman Trophy, Hyped By CFB Fans After Historic Season

Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter has won the 2024 Heisman Trophy.

The 21-year-old beat Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Miami quarterback Cam Ward to win the annual award for the best player in college football.

He becomes the first two-way player to win the award since Charles Woodson in 1997 and is the second Colorado player to win the Heisman, joining former Buffaloes running back Rashaan Salaam, who won the award in 1994.

Fans took to social media to praise Hunter's victory.

Hunter narrowly edged out Jeanty, winning 2,231 points to Jeanty's 2,017. The Colorado star's win marks the smallest margin of victory since 2009, per ESPN.

He finished his second season with the Buffaloes with 92 catches for 1,152 yards with 15 total touchdowns while adding 32 total tackles, 11 pass deflections and four interceptions on defense.

His efforts helped the Buffaloes improve to 9-3 on the season and the team qualified for a bowl game for the first time since 2020.

Hunter will soon begin his NFL journey but will first finish his collegiate career with Colorado's Alamo Bowl matchup against BYU on Dec. 28.
