This week, Hunter was named an Academic All-American.
It was uncovered that the 21-year-old posted a 3.798 cumulative GPA at Colorado.
“The junior from Suwanee, Georiga, is an anthropology major carrying a 3.798 cumulative GPA,” the Buffaloes press release read.
“In the fall of 2023, Hunter earned a 4.0 GPA and followed that up with a spring 2024 semester GPA of 3.908, earning him first-team All-Academic Team honors.”
The release also revealed that Hunter became the first Academic All-American to win the Heisman since former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow in 2007.
Hunter’s academic advisor, LaTonya Watson, shared in the release just how much effort he put into the classroom.
“Travis came to Colorado with a champion mindset transcending the football field to the classroom,” said Watson.
“Along with that mindset, he set high goals and standards that continue to motivate him to be the best version of himself as he engages in his studies.
“The Herbst Academic Center staff is equally as proud of Travis’s academic accomplishments as his athletic accolades.”
Hunter put up eye-popping numbers on offense and defense this season, recording 1,152 receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns while posting four interceptions and 11 pass breakups on defense.
He will leave Boulder for the NFL next April and is considered to be a top-five draft pick.
But first, Hunter will play his last game with the Buffaloes football program on December 28.
He and the No. 23 Colorado squad will face the No. 17 BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl at 7:30 Eastern and air on ABC.
Hunter joined the Buffaloes with NFL icon Deion Sanders and his two sons, Shilo and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, before the 2023 campaign.
Shedeur and Hunter are expected to be top NFL Draft picks in 2025.
Hunter gave his appreciation to both Deion and Shedeur at the Heisman ceremony last week.
“I want to thank Coach Prime, Shedeur,” he said in New York City.
“Man, y’all changed my life forever. That one simple phone call, Shedeur, and look where I’m at.
“Man, that’s crazy bro. It’s crazy.
“I’m trying not to get emotional because I know our last game coming up soon.”
