Travis Hunter's fiancée intensifies her demand after Colorado star takes down UCF in style
Travis Hunter's fiancée, Leanna Lenee, had a particular demand after Colorado's star player shone brightly in their 48-21 win over UCF. Hunter was a game-changer in Colorado's victory, taking the Buffaloes to a 4-1 record against a previously undefeated UCF team.
Leanna has been one of Hunter's biggest supporters, backing him for the Heisman Trophy with passion. She even shared a post on her Instagram story, captioning a photo with:
"HEISMAN HIMMMMM."
Earlier in the season, she wore custom pants with Hunter's name and number, and after the Week 4 Baylor game, she posted photos holding a cutout of Hunter’s face.
Travis Hunter lived up to the hype as he pulled off a jaw-dropping diving interception (Knights signal-caller KJ Jefferson in the third quarter), then struck a memorable pose in the endzone—a nod to 1991 Heisman winner Desmond Howard. The crowd loved it, and it was a moment to remember on Saturday.

Travis Hunter is quickly becoming a Heisman favorite
Travis Hunter continues to impress with his all-around talent, making a strong case for the Heisman. Against UCF, Hunter was a force on both sides of the ball, catching nine of 10 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown.
He made a statement early with a 23-yard score in the first quarter and even struck the iconic Heisman pose after a key interception in the second half.
Hunter wrapped up the game with nine catches for 89 yards, showcasing his versatility.
Despite a 50-minute weather delay, the Buffs came out strong, leading 27-14 at halftime. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders had an outstanding day, throwing for 290 yards and three touchdowns, completing 28 of 35 passes. After an early interception, Sanders led Colorado to scores on six of their next seven drives.
There was a scare when Hunter appeared to injure his leg during the game, but after a quick trip to the medical tent, he was back on the sidelines, walking it off.
The Buffs continue to surge, with two-way star Hunter playing a huge role in their success.
