Colorado superstar and fresh Heisman winner Travis Hunter’s unprecedented fame reached such a level that his family also shares the spotlight. Hunter’s fiance, Leanna Lenee, has always been in the discussion in some way or the other. She has been an indispensable part of Travis’ life, and the couple never hide themselves from the media attention. Everybody on the football chatterbox knows, discusses, and gossips about their relationship tea. But last week, Leanna rose to a height of controversy after she seemingly withdrew faith in Hunter’s performance after a lackluster game. After the repeated negative remarks, the Buffs WR/CB safeguarded his girlfriend. Life is really unpredictable. Just a week down, and Travis’ sweetheart is again trending, but this time for a completely different reason.

Colorado two-way superstar Travis Hunter nailed it in New York as he took the 2024 Heisman Trophy to Boulder after a 30-year drought on Saturday night during a stunning ceremony. As the host announced his name, the legendary guests present in the room heartily welcomed the 21-year-old boy to the coveted club. A phenomenal moment worth melting for! all Buffs fans had their wish fulfilled. Coach Prime and the team finally loosened up their crossed fingers, and the maddening crowd bowed down in a silent respect. But believe us when we say nobody in the universe might match up to the feelings of his mom and would-be wife at that particular moment. It is extraordinary and otherworldly to see your son or betrothed to receive the prize they worked hard for.

Pan camera spotted mom Ferrante Harris and girlfriend Leanna Lenee enjoying the show together. The precious moment went viral, and a fan captioned it, ”We love a strong wifey and mom bond.”.Leanna couldn’t help but give a huge shout-out to the cutest post in her IG story and tagged Travis’ mom with a sobbing eyes emoji.

Hunter had a second-to-none season as a wide receiver and cornerback. He toppled the Boise State star Ashton Jeanty in a closet battle for the first time since 2009 and claimed what belongs to him with utter pride. Hunter lived by his word. But it wouldn’t be possible without the immense support from Coach Prime, Shedeur Sanders, each of his Buffs teammates, and lastly, his mom and the lady luck. So, how did they react on social media after live-watching the overwhelming win?

The main ladies of Travis Hunter’s life made him feel special with heartfelt shoutouts

Those closest to Hunter, how hard he worked for every bit of his success. He earned his stripes through a breakout season in which he put up 1,152 receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns on offense and came out as the team’s top cornerback on defense. No one in modern college football possesses the unique quality to shine on both sides of the ball. Maybe he said winning Heisman isn’t his top priority. But come on, don’t just get it wrong. Travis said about a broader vision which is to be drafted as No 1 pick, but holding Heisman, being listed in the greatest of them all-time clubs, still matters to him a lot more than you might think. Who could know better than the mother who has been the closet witness of his growing years?

Mom Hunter gave a heartwarming speech after the victory. She revealed a crucial truth about her life. When Travis was in her womb, it was never as per her plan. Getting pregnant young scared her a bit, but it turned out to be the biggest blessing of her life. Internet might judge her by getting the whole essence of the comment, but from a mom’s perspective. It’s a statement full of pride, honor, and love for her kid rather than an embarrassment.
