Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee got married on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at a gorgeous place called The Barn at Faith Farms in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The 22-year-old rookie for the Jacksonville Jaguars tied the knot with his 23-year-old girlfriend, Leanna, surrounded by family and friends. It was a big moment for them, especially since their relationship started back in 2022. Their love story is pretty sweet—what began as an Instagram DM blossomed into a strong connection, and they got engaged in February 2024. Leanna has been by Travis’s side through all his ups, including winning the Heisman Trophy in 2024. Now, she’s ready to support him as he kicks off his NFL career with the Jaguars!

You may be surprised to learn that Deion Sanders, ‘Coach Prime,’ the legendary mentor and coach of Travis Hunter, was unable to attend the wedding. Travis frequently refers to Deion as a “father figure,” and it is obvious that Coach Prime has been a gigantic guiding force in his life, both on and off the field. When Travis emerged as a highly sought-after recruit, he shocked everyone by choosing to leave powerhouse programs like Florida State to join Deion at Jackson State, an HBCU. This decision showcased the deep trust and faith he had in Sanders’ vision.

Although Deion could not be present physically to witness the wedding of Travis and Leanna, he ensured that he sent his love from afar. Coach Prime shared a quote on Instagram that reads, “God is sending you a protector, a provider, a prayerful partner, a loyal companion, and someone who is emotionally available. He is sending you His very best. Your love story is already written by Him.”

It wasn’t just a nice note; it was a powerful reminder of the love and partnership that Travis and Leanna are stepping into. Deion’s words really show that their relationship is more than just a romance—it’s built on trust, belief, and cheering each other on. Travis is really stepping up, not just as an athlete but as a guy who’s ready to support Leanna through all of life’s ups and downs. The couple has had their share of struggles. Especially in the glare of media.

Last season, Leanna faced brutal online trolling several times. From her alleged displeasure at Travis’ action during a game to her not standing up when her partner received the coveted Heisman, the trolls never left her alone. It became toxic to the point that both Travis and Leanna deleted their social media accounts. They returned after the trolling calmed down. However, even in those tough moments, their bond remained intact, and we can see it in them deciding to take it to the next step.

Travis Hunter’s priceless reaction to Leanna’s present

From Coach Prime’s sincere Instagram post regarding Travis and Leanna’s special day, there’s another tale out of their whirlwind year that demonstrates what type of guy Travis Hunter is. Right after the Jaguars drafted Travis second overall, Leanna stunned him with an extraordinary gift—a Presidential Rolex. This wasn’t just any watch; it was a luxury timepiece worth at least $30,000, and she valued the specific model she chose at over $70,000! Most people would be ecstatic, but Travis’s reaction was a mix of pure comedy and genuine surprise.

When he opened the box, his initial question was, “Wait! What type of watch is this?” After being informed it was a presidential Rolex, Travis just pulled out his phone and asked Siri how much it cost. When he read the price on the tag, he just laughed and said, “I could have bought a new boat. But y’all just ain’t give me the money… Why you just ain’t give me a boat?” 

It was typical of Travis—unassuming, unpretentious, and never shy about laughing at himself. He explained that flashy presents aren’t really his style. But he did genuinely value it as a ‘good investment,’ and that’s sincerely rather refreshing in a world where all too many players flash their fortune.
