Travis Hunter Wins 2024 Heisman Trophy

 Two-way star Travis Hunter won college football’s most prestigious award Saturday night, the 2024 Heisman Trophy award.  He completed an incredible 2024 season, earning 1st team honors on both sides of the ball as an All-American and Big 12 star. He played an amazing 1300+ snaps as an impact receiver and shutdown cornerback.

As a big-play wide receiver and a lockdown cornerback, he dominated on both sides of the ball for coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes. He was the catalyst of an impressive turnaround at Colorado, going from 4-8 in 2023 when he missed over 3 games because of injuries to the current 9-3 record. He transferred to Colorado along with new HC Sanders prior to the 2023 season. The 23rd-ranked Buffaloes received their 1st bowl bid in four years and will face #17 BYU (10-2) in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28.

Hunter has stated he will play vs BYU, rather than skip the game to prepare for the NFL Draft. He is ranked the #1 prospect overall by Frank Coyle of Draft Insiders. The junior has planned to pass up his senior season in Boulder.

Hunter received 552 first-place votes and 2,231 points. Running back Ashton Jeanty of Boise State was the runner-up with 309 first-place votes and 2,017 points, making it the closest margin of victory since 2009.

Hunter was on 94% of ballots and earned 80.14% of the possible points, the 11th highest in Heisman Trophy history. He is only the second defensive player winning the award, following Charles Woodson in 1997.  Woodson also made big plays on offense, but he played selected reps on offense over the season and not nearly as much as Hunter on that side of the ball.

Hunter played 669 defensive snaps and 687 on offense — a total of 1,356 that was 434 more than any other FBS player. He was on the field for 84% of his team’s total snaps; no other FBS player accounted for more than 56%.

Hunter had an amazing week, winning multiple awards, in addition to the Heisman Trophy. He won Draft Insiders’ Player of the Year award, the Associated Press Player of the Year, the Walter Camp Award as national player of the year, the Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player, the Fred Biletnikoff Award for best wide receiver, the Paul Hornung award and Ronnie Lott Trophy.

Two QBs – Dillon Gabriel of Oregon and Cam Ward of Miami finished third and fourth in the balloting for the 90th Heisman Trophy, presented annually since 1935 to the nation’s most outstanding player. This year’s ceremony was held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.

It marked only the fifth time since 2000 that a QB didn’t win. The last time no signal-caller placed in the top two was 2015, when running backs, Derrick Henry of Alabama and Christian McCaffrey of Stanford finished 1-2 in the voting.

Travis Hunter – 2024 Heisman Season Key Numbers

2nd Heisman winner from Colorado (Rashaan Salaam 1994)
2nd Full-time defensive player to win the Heisman (Charles Woodson (1997)
3rd Straight transfer player to win the Heisman (Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams)

2024 Heisman Trophy Finalists

2024 Heisman Trophy finalists: Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty, Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward were named 2024 Heisman Trophy finalists and invited to New York City for the ceremony. The winner of the 2024 Heisman Trophy will be announced at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 14 on ESPN.

Frank Coyle is a longtime member of the FWAA and a voter for the Heisman Trophy. He will reveal his Heisman Trophy vote after the official announcement on ESPN Saturday night.

Three of the four finalists are transfer players with both QBs, Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward only one year players at their new schools. Travis Hunter played two seasons at Colorado after starting at Jackson State. He transferred followed HC Deon Sanders midway through his Jackson State career.

Only Ashton Jeanty played his entire career with one team, Boise State. His incredibly 2400 yard + performance follows only Barry Sanders 2628 yards in NCAA history. Jeanty can break the record in the CPF playoffs where the Broncos get an opening week bye as a #3 seed.

Here’s are small capsules of the finalists 
Finalists are sorted alphabetically

Four Heisman Trophy Finalists

Dillon Gabriel – Oregon

Dillon Gabriel hopes to become the second Oregon QB to win the Heisman Trophy, following in the footsteps of Marcus Mariota in 2014. He had an incredible one-year performance with the Ducks leading them to an undefeated and #1 seed in the CPF playoffs.

He threw for 3,558 passing yards, 28 passing TDs, 73.2% completion percentage, 6 interceptions, 192 rushing yards, 7 rushing TDs.

Travis Hunter – Colorado

Travis Hunter hopes to become the first defensive player to win the Heisman since Charles Woodson in 1997. As a two-way impact performer, he is also looking to become the first wide receiver to win the award since DeVonta Smith in 2020. Hunter is a generational player with impact on both sides of the ball. He has been one of the nation’s premier at two major positions, playing an incredible number of snaps weekly. He could become the 1st Colorado player to win the Heisman since Rashaan Salaam in 1994.

For the 2024 season, he caught 92 catches, 1,152 receiving yards, 14 receiving TDs and 1 rushing TD while on defense he made 31 tackles (20 solo), 11 pass breakups, 4 interceptions and 1 force fumble.

Ashton Jeanty – Boise State

Record setting runner has been the catalyst of the Boise State rise to the CPF playoffs. The only Heisman finalist from Boise State has been Kellen Moore in 2010 with no player ever winning the Heisman Trophy. Runner Ashton Jeanty could be the first. He also would be the first running back to win the Heisman trophy since Derrick Henry did so in 2015. He pursues Heisman-winning running back Barry Sanders in the playoffs for the all-time season rushing record

Instrumental in the Boise State’s 11-1 record and posted amazing season stats of 344 carries, 2,497 rushing yards, 29 rushing TDs, 20 catches, 116 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD.

Cam Ward – Miami

Cam Ward transferred from Washington State and a one-year starter with the Hurricanes. He is the first Heisman finalist from the Miami Hurricanes since Ken Dorsey was a finalist in back-to-back years in 2001-02. The last Hurricane to win the Heisman was QB Gino Torretta in 1992, with QB Vinny Testaverde in 1986 the only other Heisman winner in this program’s long history. In 2024, Cam Ward was the first nationally in passing TDs, second in passing yards and fifth in passer rating.

In the 2024 season he posted statistics of 4,123 passing yards, 36 passing TDs, 67.4% completion percentage, 7 interceptions, 196 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs

The Biletnikoff Award’s 2024 Finalists were announced this week. The Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee’s Voting Commences December 1 and Ends December 7 to determine the winner of the Biletnikoff Award, which recognizes the College Football season’s Outstanding FBS receiver.

Finalists – all receivers

Travis Hunter – Colorado
Tetairoa  McMillan – Arizona

2024 Biletnikoff Award Watch List

Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, split end, inside receiver, slot back or running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes the outstanding receiver, not merely the outstanding wide receiver. The award recipient is selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, and former receivers. Foundation trustees do not vote and have never voted. BiletnikoffAward.com/voters

Receivers were periodically added to the watch list as their season performances dictate. Actual, not potential, performance is the basis for inclusion on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List. The transparently detailed and explicit criteria for candidate eligibility, watch list inclusion, and voting appear at: BiletnikoffAward.com/criteria
