Travis Hunter hit a life goal on Sunday. The Colorado Buffaloes two-way star announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Leanna Lenee, who was rocking a stunning ring via Instagram. The band of princess cut diamonds reportedly cost $100K.

Hunter became one of the most electrifying players in college football. The former five-star played the most snaps of anyone in 2023, earning the Paul Hornung Award. He was an undeniable force every time he stepped on the field. Hunter even tried to have Deion Sanders allow him to come back early from suffering a lacerated liver. Needless to say, he made his presence felt as a consensus All-American and is preparing for a career year in Boulder.

As a receiver, Hunter snagged 57 receptions for 721 yards and five touchdowns. He was just as good on defensive with 31 tackles, three INTs, and five PDUs in nine games. The only FBS player in at least the last 20 seasons to record 100 yards receiving and an interception in the same game.

Hunter and the Buffaloes are hard at work during offseason conditioning drills that have included two separate sessions with a group of Marines. We've got to see the newcomers transition into the fold in Boulder. There's a clear difference between this year compared to last year with a heightened level of discipline from the players.
