The clock is ticking; the stakes are high as boulder sky, and the college football world is on edge. In just hours, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner shall be put into light, and it’s a showdown for the ages, literally. Travis Hunter, Colorado’s Swiss Army Knife, has been torching opponents as both CB1 and WR1. Meanwhile, Ashton Jeanty, Boise State’s human freight train, has single-handedly bulldozed his team into playoffs. Amidst all this chaos, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders made sure to show love for his teammate and Heisman hopeful, Hunter, proving once again why their bond has electrified the Big 12 all year.

On December 13, Sanders hit X to celebrate Hunter’s Biletnikoff Award win with a fire tweet: “Waking up realizing my WR won the Biletnikoff Award is crazy 🔥🔥🔥.” The award, typically handed to the nation’s best receiver, sparked debates across football circles—some hyping Hunter’s insane versatility, others questioning if he deserved it. But Shedeur wasn’t here for the noise, though. For him, it was simple: his brother just bagged one of the game’s biggest honors.

Fast forward to December 14 in New York City, during the Heisman press conference, where a reporter asked Hunter about Shedeur’s vocal Heisman support. His response? Pure love. “Like I always say, he’s like a brother to me. It’s kinda normal now, but everybody else, they’re getting to see he actually loves me a lot,” Hunter said, grinning from ear to ear.

“He’s tryna take an extra shot to go a mile ahead [to show support for me]. I can’t say nothing more about it, you know. I love the guy; he’s like my backbone.” That bond runs deeper than football. Travis and Shedeur literally obliterated defense all season, until they got obliterated in week 13 against the 5-6 Kansas Jayhawks. Despite getting torched by the -500 squad, Shedeur and Travis showed up and balled out. Travis went for 125 yards and caught for 2 touchdowns.

Let’s keep it 100—Shedeur and Hunter aren’t just teammates; they’re a package deal that’s redefined college football this season. Hunter’s dual-threat dominance would be impossible without Shedeur’s pinpoint passes. And Sanders’ Heisman shoutouts show just how much he’s willing to go the extra mile for his Buffs bro. This duo isn’t just making headlines—they’re making history.

Travis Hunter vs. Ashton Jeanty: who will win the Heisman?

The 2024 Heisman Trophy race is tighter than your grandma’s Tupperware lid. For the first time in what feels like forever, quarterbacks are on the sidelines of the conversation, making way for two absolute legends: Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty. These two didn’t just put up stats; they redefined dominance in their own lanes.

Travis Hunter’s season reads like a video game stat sheet: 92 receptions, 1,152 yards, and 14 touchdowns on offense, paired with 31 tackles, 11 assists, a forced fumble, and four picks on defense. The dude is out here playing Iron Man football and making it look easy. No wonder he’s the favorite of bookmakers and voters alike. But don’t count out Ashton Jeanty, who has been every defense’s nightmare.

Jeanty’s 2,497 rushing yards, 29 touchdowns, and a 7.3 yards-per-carry average scream Heisman-worthy. Oh, and he capped it off by torching UNLV’s defense for 205 yards and 1 touchdown in the Mountain West title game. Looks like we’re in a real slugfest right now.

Both are absurdly deserving, but here’s where it gets tricky: the Heisman has grown into more than just stats—it’s about impact and visibility. Hunter’s versatility and high-profile stat line have made him a household name, but Jeanty’s “one-man army” campaign is equally legendary. Even Derrick Henry, a former Heisman winner, gave Jeanty his flowers: “I’ve got a special place for running backs in my heart, so hopefully, he gets to win it.” Still, Vegas odds are riding with Hunter (-2000), and let’s be real—popularity often tips the scale in these races. Whether it’s Hunter’s dual-threat dominance or Jeanty’s record-breaking grit, tonight’s announcement is about to set the college football world on fire.
