On Friday, the 9th of May, the WR/CB Travis Hunter will gear up for the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp. But one day before that, he was wrapping up the pending work. A crucial part of that was his college degree. The Heisman Trophy winner was great on the field, and his ability to concentrate on different things has helped him complete his studies on time. On Thursday, May 8, he shared great news with his fans, sharing photos from his graduation. Another person smiling in happiness is his mother, Ferrante Edmonds.

She accompanied him to the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, when the Jags drafted him in Round 1 (No. 2 overall). His mother shared a photo of the NFL star proudly rocking the graduation robe. She aptly captioned it, “My baby graduated today! I just want to let you know that I’m so proud of you @db3_tip! I Love You So Much! Graduation Class Of 2025! 🎓🎊🎉🎊🎉”

The Colorado student earned a degree in anthropology and was a two-time Academic All-American with a 3.79 GPA. Even with his feat, he made history by becoming just the 3rd Heisman Trophy winner to earn Academic All-American honors. Two Florida Gators alumni have done this previously, Danny Wuerffel (1996) and Tim Tebow (2007).

However, he became the first Colorado Buffaloes player to be a unanimous First-team All-American and First-team Academic All-American. The college also acknowledged his greatness by retiring his jersey number 2 along with Shedeur Sanders‘ jersey number 12. He even hyped up the fans by sharing a video from Boulder, Colorado, and said, “What’s up, Buff Nation? It’s your boy Trav! The boys out here graduating, man!”

While the fans cheered him on to get that degree, some hawk-eyed fans saw something unique. It’s related to his NFL team.

Travis Hunter reps the Jaguars after signing the projected rookie deal

Rocking a smile with glasses, Travis Hunter was more than happy to get his degree. He worked pretty hard for it, managing sports with his studies. But beneath his robe, fans saw him rocking the black and the gold Jaguars pajamas. And the fans went crazy.

Earlier in the day, his video went viral, showing off stacks of cash after signing the projected 4-year $46.65 million rookie deal. SBNation reported a signing bonus of $30.6 million. That’s a great start for the generational talent!

His mother is also enjoying the next phase of newfound popularity. The more Hunter performs in the league, the more his mother’s fame will also increase. Just a few days ago, she announced the first episode of Lunch Time Life with UNK & CHICO to give her unfiltered take on college football. But her son will definitely want to surprise her more. Remember her shock when he gifted her with a house in Savannah? That’s just the tip of the stardom he will gain!
