Travis Hunter’s got that rock-solid family support most of us can only dream about. His dad, Travis Hunter Sr., gave up his own football dreams to be there for his kids. And his mom? After Hunter won the Heisman, his mom made it clear that having him was a “blessing,” not a “mistake.” And now the proud mom has his back! With all the trolls and the drama that’s been going on with him and his fiancée Leanna Lenee, it’s been quite chaotic. But now that Hunter is making a comeback, no one is cheering for him louder than his mom.

No matter how much you try, you can’t always control what people think, and honestly, why even bother? However, when things get out of hand, sometimes the best thing to do is just tune everything out. That’s exactly what Travis Hunter did, deactivating his IG amidst the endless hate aimed at his girl. But now?

The man’s done giving trolls the power to control his actions. And he’s back on the ‘gram, making peace with it all, and who’s the first one to welcome him? It’s none other than Hunter’s mom, Ferrante Edmonds. She shared a sweet post with the Buffs two-way on IG with the caption, “I love you, baby @db3_tip, on to the next level. I’m so proud of you.” Talk about a comeback!

All of this started with a video that circulated online, fueling speculation about a feud between the ‘It couple’ of college football. It was just after the Buffs’ victory against Oklahoma State, after which Travis Hunter went to Leanna and tried to give her a hug, but her response was a bit off. That fine moment became the worst mistake of her life. People started speculating about a feud, but it doesn’t make sense. If things were really bad, why would she be at his games or Heisman ceremony?

But the Heisman ceremony wasn’t exactly drama-free. After Hunter won, people slammed Lenee for not immediately jumping up to cheer. Deion had to nudge her, and suddenly everyone was judging her for being disrespectful.

Just when they thought things had calmed down, a music video surfaced of Lenee getting cozy with SoundCloud rapper, apparently from years ago. Things quickly spiraled out of control. With all this negativity swirling around, Hunter finally had to address the situation head-on before it got completely out of hand.

Travis Hunter’s constant fight with the trolls

It’s evident that the online hate for Leanna Lenne is just intensifying day by day, and there is no end to this misery. First, the problem was her not standing while Travis Hunter was receiving one of the most prestigious awards in New York. And now suddenly the whole notion shifted to her getting jealous of Travis’ fan following, and they might even break up. Well, some are way off with those theories. After the ceremony, Hunter took some snaps with a female fan, and it was the moment where the mess started.

Soon after that, fans spotted Lenee sitting afar and looking down with an upset face, asking Travis Hunter, “What do you want me to do… I’ll just sit here then.” See, at first it might sound like a fight, but then there could be a backstory behind it, right? But hate went to the extent that Travis had to defend his girl, clearing the air around it.

He said, “When we were sitting down and I was at my pop-up shop, we were talking about my family. What were they going to do while I was in there signing stuff? I had all my family there, and that’s why she said she was gon.” But now Travis Hunter has had enough.

His NFL future is also at stake in the middle of all this mess, and he can’t let some ‘fan theories’ ruin it for him. So, right after the Alamo Bowl, Colorado’s two-way star wasted no time leveling up his game. The dude’s already signing with Lil Wayne’s Young Money APAA Sports, leaving big dogs like Klutch and WME in the dust. Now, as per Bleacher’s report, Hunter is in the No. 1 position for the 2025 NFL Draft Big Board, and with Young Money pulling the strings, Hunter’s NFL dreams are about to hit beast mode.

Let’s just be real; we saw this coming. All the signs were right there—from his Heisman mention to his association with Lil Wayne and Young Money. Now, Hunter’s dividing his work—Young Money handles the field aspects, while SMAC Entertainment secures lucrative NIL deals such as the Adidas partnership. This man’s already playing chess while others are still stuck on the checkers. NFL, watch out!
