Sat Nov 23 22:50:00 UTC 2024: ## College Football Legend Desmond Howard Predicts Heisman for Colorado’s Two-Way Star Travis Hunter

**Boulder, CO** – ESPN College GameDay analyst Desmond Howard has declared Colorado’s Travis Hunter the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. Howard, a Heisman winner himself, lauded Hunter’s exceptional two-way play and humble demeanor, calling him a “unique talent” and a “unicorn.” Following a dominant performance against Utah, where Hunter scored a touchdown and secured an interception, Howard believes Hunter’s position at the top of the Heisman race is secure.

Hunter’s impressive stats against Utah included five catches for 55 yards on offense and three tackles and an interception on defense. While acknowledging that several games remain, Howard believes it would take a catastrophic collapse for Hunter to lose his grip on the coveted award. Colorado’s strong performance and continued playoff contention only strengthen Hunter’s case.

Howard isn’t alone in his assessment. ESPN’s Paul Finebaum emphatically declared himself “Paul-in” on Hunter winning the Heisman, stating that Hunter effectively secured the award before the season even began, due to his already established talent. Finebaum believes Hunter’s recent performance cemented his victory.

Hunter’s achievements extend beyond the Heisman; he is also considered a top contender for the number one pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The coming weeks will determine if he can achieve both of these significant milestones.
