Travis Hunter was nothing short of sensational during his time at Colorado. Whether locking down top receivers or making highlight plays as a wideout, he played like two elite athletes in one body.
Over the course of his Colorado career, Hunter racked up an astonishing list of honors, more than a dozen major awards. We’re talking Heisman Trophy, Walter Camp Player of the Year, Chuck Bednarik Award, Biletnikoff, Paul Hornung, and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, just to name a few.
And now, even after all that, he’s still collecting accolades. At Big 12 Media Day, the conference surprised fans by honoring Hunter yet again, sparking reactions across social media.
The man may be headed for the NFL, but his college legacy? Still making headlines. Fans are saying it loud: Travis is just built different.
Big 12 Honors Travis Hunter Again
On the very first day of the Big 12 Media Day, Travis Hunter once again proved that his legacy is far from over. The conference recognized him with the prestigious Bob Bowlsby Award. The post featured a powerful graphic of Hunter with the bold text: “Travis Hunter: The Bob Bowlsby Award is bestowed to the two student-athletes… who represent the absolute best in the Big 12…”
It was a fitting tribute for a player who dominated both offense and defense and was a role model off the field. In the caption, the Big 12 added, “Travis Hunter left his mark on the Big 12, on and off the field,” ending with a GOAT emoji because yeah, they see him as one of the greatest to ever do it.
This accolade is awarded to one male and one female athlete for their leadership and excellence. Along with Travis, BYU’s Track and Field star Meghan Hunter was also honored with the title. And no, the award winners are not related.
Fans Celebrate Travis Hunter’s Latest Honor
