Travis Hunter Press Conference After Winning the Heisman Trophy

[@kevinchristie4972]

1st Hbcu player to ever win Heisman.

[@Fruit17-ip4vl]

I am so excited about it! Congratulations 🎊 Travis!

[@dustyflair]

had he stayed at JSU he woudlnt of won anything.

[@Fruit17-ip4vl]

I believe that Travis Hunter’s talent is so much bigger than the school that he attends! I believe he would have won the trophy regardless of where he attended! Coach Prime convinced him to go to Colorado. You can’t stop what God has in store for you! “Keep your foot on the gas!” -Travis Hunter

[@objective_evaluation]

@@dustyflairtrue…but his decision to trust Coach Prime got him here. Easily the toughest and best decision of his life.

[@tgoodman757]

​@@Fruit17-ip4vlhe wouldn't have. That was the point him and Prime were trying to make by selecting an HBCU. He was the top high school player at the time and Deion is Deion. And the HBCU football program doesn't get the recognition they should. (Side note-I'm a HBCU Alum)

[@reddandgreen]

I love the loyalty he showed to his father and shut the question down. His dad was a great influence and impacted him in a wonderful way! Great job!

[@dongarrett9735]

Yes that was a class act, to acknowledge his father in such a respectful manner.

[@judithgaar217]

Tonight was the first time that my husband and I watched the Heisman Trophy presentation. We are so happy that Travis is the winner! 🎉

[@TheHeros10]

Same!! Did you tear up too!? Haha

[@blackqueen67]

It was my first time watching also, I really enjoyed the Heisman weekend ❤ and I cried like I know him. Happy for Travis and his family 🫶🏾🙏🏾

[@dm.4218]

​@blackqueen67 it was my first time watching 💫and tears flowing.

[@Fruit17-ip4vl]

I am so proud of this young man! He is focused! He gave me a word! “KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS”!

[@boxfanz1000]

Never cared to watch until he was a candidate

[@Dnyce07]

It was good to see Prime and Shedeur sitting up there with and representing Travis's family, by me seeing this I know Deion isn't going to let him go down any wrong roads without giving Travis Good sound advise throughout his life and career, Good luck young man.

[@mmiller7835]

No his mother should have been with him on stage

[@BrazziOG]

@@mmiller7835 I dont think she wanted to or she would have been

[@mommatia6095]

You're right. You missed the point, have you not seen what even happened from the start of the ceremony. Travis mom was sitting right next to him and he had the cameras on mom. Leanna wasn't even down there, What COACH PRIME DID WAS PERFECT. Did you not hear the interviewer asking Travis where was his dad. No disrespect. Prime didn't what was right for his Mother. No ma'am Leanna not tonight. What happened you called him and his little brother ugly. Look at money now. SMH

[@mommatia6095]

​@@BrazziOGEXACTLY. YOU'RE INTELLIGENT. PRIME PLAYED CHESS. HE PROTECTED TRAVIS IMMATURE BEHAVIOR. MEANING. IF MOMMA AIN'T GOING UP THERE. THERE'S NO OTHER. LEANNA AIN'T MOMMA. PERIODT. RESPECT TO COACH. WHERE WAS SHE AT THE START OF THE CEREMONY. COACH MSDE SUR MOMMA WAS FRONT AND CENTERED.

[@jamesclark1607]

You can lead a horse to the water but you can't make em think!🤦🏾‍♂️ Part of the young can't tell 'em nothing group!

[@crystalchappell8018]

Shut the dad question down. Good for him.

[@hollyfavored924]

Yesssss was unnecessary

[@sdonald83]

@hollyfavored924yes very unnecessary. It doesn’t take a wild guess why his dad couldn’t make it. Legal obligations

[@ceebee2055]

​@@sdonald83they know. All they have to do is google it. Some press ppl are foul

[@marcalexander5594]

But why? If you don’t want lies about the situation being made up, address it, take control of the narrative. Unless the reason he’s locked up is really bad so you never want to address it. That’s what I’m going to think until I hear otherwise.

[@footyCS]

That question seemed so petty and unnecessary

[@donnijames9594]

Im happy and proud Travis knew how to say none of your business without skipping a beat

[@billyburks5934]

Im glad that he gave Jackson State their props as well y'all put them on the national spotlight and keep doing what you believe in and keep God first in whatever direction you going be blessed soldier

[@PaulRodarte-w5r]

He said he would n I was watching the entire speech just to hold him to his word, but HONESTLY I really never doubted it. U really need to look no further than his smile to know he's the REAL DEAL☝️

[@jaywilliams3405]

Thanks for your comment about HBCU'S STRAIGHT FACTS

[@tammyleachman1850]

He and Shedeau always recognize the team when getting their awards

[@SilkSoFye]

I don’t think people not connected to this program understand how connected we are to these players & this program. Getting to know these guys through well off makes you feel like you watched a family member win this award! Congrats Trav! I shed a few tears tonight! lol

[@PaulRodarte-w5r]

@@SilkSoFye they Def can't understand, but we understand all that hate is ALSO a sign of just how special this team n their season was... it's finally OUR turn again☝️🤌

[@Mvv2323]

Love this kid, such a well mannered humble individual, congratulations bro you deserve it, cant wait to see at next level 💪

[@nimrod4065]

Congratulations! Former HBCU players went to a PWI with scrutiny and all became top draft picks and one became the greatest player and won the Heisman. This will make a good movie.

[@butlervilleorbust-aircrete473]

The man is real....

[@tammyleachman1850]

Coach Prime has changed college football

[@PaulRodarte-w5r]

Nah, the rest are still the same... he changed COLORADO football n proved ONCE AGAIN he's taking EVERYTHING he touches to the house☝️🤌

[@dustyflair]

[@viviansbrown]

Yessss- he changed college football!

[@linettemalone2079]

I cried 😭 like a baby when Travis won. When he poured his heart out about his dad I was done. What comes from the heart reaches the heart. I really didn't know I was that invested but I guess I am. Its like I know him for real. Coach prime the Colorado program and its players. Thank you for the joy you bring for just being decent human being. Travis I'm so happy for you you deserve every bit of it. It lets the kids know that hard work, dedication, honestly, and integrity goes a long way. And his mama great-great worlds of encouragement. You all got it right this time. Without the prejudice of coach prime and the Colorado program. thank you so so much.

[@Packmanfarmzgasthc4775]

[@Upyoyo]

How does it taste

[@raginrazin2530]

Yea that got me as well when he brought his father into it

[@PaulRodarte-w5r]

SOOOOO much hate... I'm like WHAT IS THIS? CELEBRITY MEAN TWEETS 😂

[@chrisgreen177]

I WISH HIM, AND THE WOMAN HE'S CHOSEN THE BEST IN THEIR LIFE TO REMAIN A UNION AND BRING FORTH MANY MORE VERSIONS OF THEM TO THIS EARTH. I don't care about the outside noise they have been receiving. This is on him and her. I just pray they are made for one another, and that they will make it work for one another and everything they are to be as a couple, a family and productive citizens in this world that desperately needs it.

[@angelalofton6048]

❤ So proud of this young Man.

[@wadewallace2732]

Congratulations one of my two My Favorite players super proud of you youngman stay focused and keep Pushing all the way 💪 ☝️Up Respect

[@pooh4025]

Im glad he didn't say why his Dad couldn't make it because they would have ran with the narrative, it would be on every media outlet. 😊

[@blackqueen67]

Yeah, just let it go

[@jennifermcdonald7556]

I'm so happy for Travis but also for the whole entire team and organization. He truly deserves it and is an amazing talent and should be recognized like all rest of talented players. God blessed him his family the team and the whole organization as well as deion and his sons ❤

[@timothydouglas7871]

Congratulations Travis. Thank you for staying true to yourself, being humble, and seperating yourself from all the drama, and foolishness that is happening out here. Watching you play and the way you carry yourself as an athlete speaks volume. Continue to be who you are and stay focused going to the next level. Continue to keep God first as well. No matter what, you are the captain of the ship, and you are in control of your destiny. God Bless!

[@eveheard1123]

Agreed about the drama because if that girl doesn't teach him he won't learn. Leave him alone and let's enjoy his time Well said 😊

Congratulations Travis!!! HE12MAN!!🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳

[@ORwu]

How this stat: First time ever, the Heisman, NBA League MVP, & NHL League MVP winners all reside in the same US State(Colorado) & all 3 won in the same year. Incredible.

[@blackstreek]

It's a glorious time to be a Colorado sports fan. Shedeur might go No.1 in the draft. Strong contenders for NFL Rookie of the Year in Nix, DPOY in Bonitto and Surtain, and we got a 5-star QB in Juju.

[@PaulRodarte-w5r]

Jokic DID win this past year? That must have missed me cuz they they were UNEXPECTEDLY eliminated from the playoffs🤔 but YEAH, McKinnon n Hunter. Might as well throw Bo in as rookie of the year😮

Real greatness

[@conmolBry3]

I have to admit I was rooting for Ashton Jeanty. His statistics this year were superior (2500 yards rushing) and in past years would have easily garnered him the Heisman. But Travis is obviously a great athlete and his acceptance speech was really moving and proved him to be an exceptional young man, too. Well done.

[@portiamoore6226]

I don’t usually be out late but I’m gone be out late tonight…. I love that Trav…❤❤

Such an amazing kid. His speech was just as beautiful n powerful as his play on the field. I've never been so attached to any players. It's great to be a Buff these days. Next year's gonna be great, but nothing will ever compare to this season with these kids. The only other team I've been THIS proud of is the championship Nuggets☝️🤌
