Travis Hunter Heisman Watch: Odds, Stats, Prediction, Analysis

In the world of high school football, two-way players are pretty common. As any small-town kid can tell you, there are plenty of communities that don’t have a full two-deep of kids running through the halls of the school. 

As a result, it’s common to go to rural high school football games and see quarterbacks playing linebacker, running backs rushing the passer, and receivers playing corner. 

It’s a rare player that’s willing to do that once he graduates to the collegiate level. But for two years, Colorado superstar Travis Hunter has dazzled the NCAA football world with his remarkable two-way play. 

In 2024, it might just win him the Heisman Trophy.

Travis Hunter Heisman Prediction

I am predicting that Travis Hunter will win the Heisman Trophy.

At the end of the day, the Heisman Trophy is about excellence. Colorado is unlikely to make the College Football Playoff, but Hunter is unequivocally great in his role with the Buffaloes.

I think voters will be swayed more by the absurd playmaking skills of Hunter – aided by his unorthodox two-way play – than the lofty poll rankings of Cam Ward’s Miami Hurricanes or Dillon Gabriel’s Oregon Ducks. 

Travis Hunter is the best player in college football. Even in an age of quarterback focus, he’s good enough to command respect among Heisman voters.
