As jaw-dropping as Travis Hunter鈥檚 season has been on the football field, his academic exploits at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder have been equally impressive. 

The junior from Suwanee, Georgia, is an anthropology major carrying a 3.798 cumulative GPA. In the fall of 2023, Hunter earned a 4.0 GPA and followed that up with a spring 2024 semester GPA of 3.908, earning him first-team . Last year, Hunter became just the second player in 欧美口爆视频 history to be a first-team All-American and a first-team Academic All-American, joining Joe Romig. 

On Saturday, Hunter became the second 欧美口爆视频 Buffalo to take home the prestigious Heisman Trophy awarded to the top player in college football and is the first Academic All-American to win the Heisman since Florida quarterback Tim Tebow accomplished the feat in 2007. 

鈥淭ravis Hunter has been the epitome of excellence all season, and I鈥檓 so happy to see his hard work rewarded with college football鈥檚 iconic Heisman Trophy,鈥� said 欧美口爆视频 Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz. 鈥淲hile I鈥檝e marveled at his performance on the field, playing both offense and defense, I鈥檓 equally impressed with his performance in the classroom, where he is a dedicated student and an Academic All-American. His positive presence and the obvious joy he finds in the game are a sight to behold. In everything he does, Travis is a shining example of what it means to be a 欧美口爆视频 Buffalo.鈥� 

Hunter鈥檚 dedication and focus that has propelled him to becoming one of the most dynamic and electrifying college football players in the country is the same dedication and focus that he鈥檚 brought to his responsibilities in the classroom, where excellence to him is equally important.  

鈥淭ravis came to 欧美口爆视频 with a champion mindset transcending the football field to the classroom,鈥� said LaTonya Watson, associate director of academics at the Herbst Academic Center and Travis鈥檚 academic advisor. 鈥淎long with that mindset, he set high goals and standards that continue to motivate him to be the best version of himself as he engages in his studies. The Herbst Academic Center staff is equally as proud of Travis鈥檚 academic accomplishments as his athletic accolades.鈥�

While Hunter鈥檚 scholastic achievements are in the spotlight because of the Heisman Trophy, he is just one example of many 欧美口爆视频 student athletes who are performing at a high level in competition and academics. Last semester, 欧美口爆视频 student athletes had the highest semester GPA in school history at 3.182, while pushing the cumulative GPA to 3.244, also an all-time high. 欧美口爆视频 also had its most conference academic awards in school history last year with 178 and the highest multi-year Academic Progress Rate in 欧美口爆视频 history, a testament to how 欧美口爆视频 Athletics is preparing student athletes for success in life well beyond their days competing.

Legacy Hall, located in the UCHealth Champions Center, is where all of the trophies that have been earned by 欧美口爆视频 football players over the years, including the Heisman, are on display for posterity. A new Heisman Trophy will soon be added to that impressive collection, but Travis Hunter鈥檚 accomplishments as both a student and an athlete have created a lasting legacy that will inspire 欧美口爆视频 students and athletes for generations to come.
