Travis Hunter By The Numbers
Early in the year people were saying heEarly wouldn’t have a shot at the Heisman because a) Colorado won’t have very many wins and b) Hunter won’t be able to maintain this type of play consistently all season.
Well here we are with Colorado with 9 wins (Many Heisman winners have had 9 including last years winner) and Hunter played both sides of the ball all season minus 3 quarters against Kansas State for an injury.
Offense
92 Catches
1,152 yards receiving
14 receiving TD’s (CU single season record)
1 rushing TD
608 snaps
Defense
32 Tackles
11 PBU’s
4 INT’s
1 Forced Fumble (Game clinching)
642 Snaps
Targeted 33 times in 343 coverage snaps.
He either broke up the pass or intercepted the ball on 45% of the times we was targeted.
Allowed 20 receptions for 187 yards.
Allowed 6 first downs (fewest among all CB’s in the country).
Allowed only 5 plays of 15 yards or more.
Tackled WR on 19 of 20 allowed receptions.
Allowed 1 TD all season
Had 4 games with an INT and a TD
Special Teams
19 snaps
Big 12 Defensive Player of the year
1st player in Big 12 history to be named 1st-Team Offense and 1st-Team Defense.
1st-Team Academic All-American
Projected by most to be the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Finalist for following awards.
Heisman
Walter Camp
Maxwell
Bednarick
Biletnikoff
Hornung
There is no question Ashton Jeanty is the best RB in college football today, excellent back. However we have seen backs like him before and we will again.
You could debate who is the better QB between Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward and Dillon Gabriel. All three of those have put up Heisman type numbers this season.
The Heisman Trophy is awarded (or is supposed to be) to the top PLAYER in college football. What we have seen this year from Travis Hunter has never been done before and will probably never be replicated again. And it’s not just the number of snaps, it’s the production on both sides of the ball from Hunter and how he has maintained that production all season.

Rippin' Lips! Good to see you, and great post!
Someone explain those special teams snaps to me.
Just shows there are still voters out there on the fence and they watched the Boise game
Ya, so we won't know if it's a close win or landslide win. Travis still should win though
Article from SI this AM:
Jeanty, who entered the week +2000 to win the award, now sits at +1000 after another monster performance. While still a relative long shot, Jeanty saw his implied probability shift from 4.76% to 9.09%, it’s clear that there’s only one player that can make a late push to take down Hunter.

There are hundreds of Heisman voters. Nearly all have already voted. There’s probably only 10-15% left to vote.
Is this the most polarizing Heisman race we’ve seen? I can’t think of another where fans were hellbent on tearing down the players they didint want to win
Hope Travis’ Big Noon ground game in Pennsylvania was enough to secure those electoral votes
The only reason it’s a “race” is the rejection of Prime by an incredibly vocal 30% + milquetoast mayo gang like CU3X
According to what? Is there somewhere that says voters historically vote prior to the conf champ games?
I don't understand why these highlights don't show more PBU and interceptions.
Could have been edited a bit quicker as well
If it’s possible to be less than 0%, then less than 0%.
I understand the thought behind this but no, a Jeanty is not Scattebo.The only conversation being had should be what would the other player do if they were in each other's conference.
Jeanty becomes Scattebo.
Travis becomes this guy x100000000000
He is the best RB in college football and would be playing in any conference. His numbers are inflated some by weak MWC defenses but in any conference in most years he would be a legit Heisman contender.
Bad luck for him that in his year there happened to be a once in a century guy, a guy who will be the comparison for decades come along.
Travis is easily the best player in college football. This is not because the competition is weak, it highlights how good Travis is that as good as the others are there still shouldn't be serious discussion.

Travis is the best wr and corner(according to Mel Kipper) in CFB. The Bosie kid is the best rb, in order for him to be the conversation he would also have to be the best safety. End of discussion.
For me, if you’re one of the best players in the country, you challenge yourself by playing against actual good competition.
The mental gymnastics these morons are exercising to talk themselves into voting for Jeanty.
I believe you could take Jeanty off Boise State and they still go undefeated in the MWC. That conference was straight ass this year.
He already has his mind made up, which is why he's asking the wrong questions.
The destruction Hunter would be doing to the MWC would be incredible
