Travis Hunter’s story is already legendary, and it’s about to hit another level.
The Colorado State phenom, fresh off a Heisman-winning season, is headed to the NFL Draft with the spotlight all on him. But what’s making headlines just as much as his game? His dad, Travis Hunter Sr., just got court permission to stand beside his son on draft night, despite being on a three-year probation. After being on house arrest for a year following charges in 2023, the court gave him the green light to be there for the biggest moment of his son’s life. That’s real.
Hunter’s draft stock? Sky high. Projected top five, with serious buzz about the Titans possibly making a power move and snatching him or Cam Ward at No. 1. And let’s be real, Hunter’s the type of generational talent teams build dynasties around. Whether it’s locking down receivers, or torching DBs on offense, this man does it all.
His last season at Colorado State? Straight heat. 57 catches, 721 yards, 5 touchdowns on offense. On defense, 31 tackles, 3 picks, and 5 breakups. The man was everywhere. And the Heisman voters took notice, making him the second defensive player ever to win it.
So come draft night, when Travis walks across that stage, he won’t just be stepping into the league, he’ll be bringing his whole story with him. From setbacks, to stardom, and now with his dad right there with him, it’s a moment built different.
