Look, the 2024 Heisman Trophy isn’t fully locked up yet. The drumbeat for him — whether it’s the Heisman odds or, you know, what you’ve seen in recent weeks — has gotten very, very loud.
But if you look at Travis Hunter’s stats from Friday’s huge blowout win for Colorado over Oklahoma State, you might have been convinced that he clinched it.
Let’s go over this real quick. Look at these numbers from Friday:
ON OFFENSE: 10 catches, 116 yards, three touchdowns
ON DEFENSE: 1 interception, two deflected passes, one tackle
Sounds like a Heisman Trophy winner to me, and to a lot of other fans:

Like it or not, Travis Hunter just won the Heisman Trophy today.
I don’t want to hear a word about stat passing. Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams accumulated a lot of big stat performances in blowouts.
