Travis Hunter is proving he’s worth all the hype. As the nation’s No. 1 college football player and a Heisman frontrunner, expectations were high, but his performance on August 29 showed he deserves every bit of it.

Hunter quickly became Shedeur’s go-to guy, helping the team pull off a crazy 31-26 win against North Dakota State. There have been many moments where Hunter has shined as a wide receiver, but one viral moment stands out: his game-winning touchdown, which has been trending since.

On August 30, Hunter shared a picture of the moment after his touchdown on Instagram with no caption. But really, who needs one when the play speaks for itself? He set the mood by adding BossMan Dlow’s song Pressure in the background. The post quickly caught fire, with teammates like Jeremiah Brown and Preston Hodge hyping him up in the comments. Even his fiancée, Lenna Lenee, showed her love with a heart emoji. Among all the reactions, Deion Sanders’ son-in-law, Jacquees, gave a funny two-word comment: “Type sh*t!!!” And honestly, that perfectly sums up what Hunter did on the field.

Hunter had a great game day with 132 yards, seven receptions, and three touchdowns and handed North Dakota State a terrible weekend to face. Meanwhile, Jacquees wasn’t just cheering in the comments. He and his fiancée, Deiondra Sanders, watched the livestream, hyping up Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

But it wasn’t just Jacquees, though. Many celebs reacted to Hunter’s performance, but the game-winning Buffalo stayed humble!

NBA goat takes notice of Travis Hunter

The showdown between the Buffaloes and Bisons had Travis Hunter stealing the spotlight. Hunter kicked things off with a 41-yard touchdown in the first quarter. But that was just the beginning. He followed up with two more touchdowns, with his final one in the fourth quarter creating quite a buzz. Hunter made that daring catch, even while being tackled by a defender. To add drama, he missed a pass from Shedeur Sanders after being isolated by North Dakota’s defensive star Jailen Duffie just before that. Despite the pressure, Hunter kept his cool, telling Sanders, “Throw me the ball no matter what.” And it paid off, leading to their first season opener win.

Even NBA legend LeBron James, who had been cheering for the Colorado Buffaloes, couldn’t help but praise Hunter’s performance. He posted on his X handle, “MAN TRAVIS HUNTER IS RIDICULOUS!!!!! WOW.” Even Hunter himself responded with a simple goat emoji. Even when asked about his game-winning touchdown, the two-way star stayed humble, saying, “I got no personal goals. I just want my team to go out and win every week.”

We’ve got a grounded guy and a great player in Boulder.
