"Touchdown babyyy": Travis Hunter's fiancee Leanna Lenee celebrates two-way star's electric showdown
Colorado's electrifying two-way star, Travis Hunter, had a game to remember in the Buffaloes' 34-23 win over Cincinnati, bringing them to the coveted six-win mark on Saturday night. The win also made coach Deion Sanders' team bowl-eligible.
Hunter returned from injury in spectacular form, tallying a Colorado career-high 153 receiving yards with two touchdowns, plus two tackles as a cornerback.
Watching from the stands, his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, was all in, sharing her excitement on Instagram.
"Touchdown babyyy!" she wrote in a story.
Lenee has been a loyal supporter, often seen in gear that celebrates Hunter. Last month, she shared a photo holding a face cutout of him in his Colorado helmet while wearing pants with his No. 12. She captioned the post:
"I’m just here for #12."
Originally from Savannah, Georgia, she’s been a constant source of support for Hunter, now ranked as the top Heisman Trophy contender after Week 9.
Hunter proposed to Leanna Lenee in February, and they’re set to marry on May 24, 2025, as they continue to enjoy their engagement and her strong presence on and off the field.
