Wed Jan 01 21:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Colorado’s Hunter Makes History: Wins Heisman, Projected as Top NFL Draft Pick
**Boulder, CO** – Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter capped off a historic college career by winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy. The two-way player, who shone as both a receiver and cornerback, beat out stiff competition from Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Miami quarterback Cam Ward, and Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Hunter’s Heisman victory comes despite the Buffaloes’ 36-14 loss to BYU in Saturday’s Alamo Bowl, his final collegiate game.
The exceptional performance has cemented Hunter’s status as a top prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, with many projecting him as a potential top-five pick, possibly even going first overall. While widespread fan support on social media hails him as a surefire early draft choice, some debate remains about his NFL prospects. Concerns have been raised regarding his ability to succeed at the professional level playing both offense and defense.
With one week remaining in the NFL regular season, the draft order remains fluid. However, teams in need of a quarterback are less likely to select Hunter, narrowing down the potential landing spots. The New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars are currently viewed as two of the most probable destinations for the highly touted rookie.
