There’s something poetic about the way Travis Hunter’s story is unfolding. A Heisman winner, a top-two NFL Draft pick, a college graduate, and now—a husband. Hunter just married his longtime girlfriend Leanna Lenee in a beautiful ceremony this past Saturday, May 24. But he didn’t just say “I do.” The former Colorado Buffaloes two-way superstar kicked off his married life with a jaw-dropping gift: a Brabus G-Wagon.
Only Travis Hunter can turn a wedding into a headline on SportsCenter.
Here at GloryColorado.com, we're still emotionally invested in Hunter, and probably always will be. He gave us the most electric season in CU football history. He bled Black and Gold in a way that felt personal. And now, even though he's suiting up in teal for the Jacksonville Jaguars, moments like this still feel like a win for us, too.
A wedding gift that shook the crowd
After the vows were exchanged in Chattanooga, Tennessee—just a short drive from Hunter’s hometown—Leanna unwrapped her wedding gift. It wasn’t a bracelet or a diamond necklace.
It was a custom Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus.
The crowd erupted, and the footage of her surprise reaction is going viral across social media. Leanna’s been with him since 2019. She stood by his side through transfer drama, national spotlight pressure, and that viral moment during his Heisman ceremony where she was unfairly criticized for her demeanor.
It wasn’t just a flex. It was a full-circle moment from a young man who’s finally reaping the rewards of hard work and loyalty.
Hunter’s NFL era begins
Hunter isn’t just playing grown man off the field. On it, he’s already making his presence known in Jacksonville.
After going No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jaguars have big plans for him. He’ll start at wide receiver opposite Brian Thomas Jr., but could soon be doing what only Travis Hunter can—playing both sides of the ball.
Let’s not forget what he did last season for Colorado:
1,258 receiving yards, 15 touchdowns, and still found time to notch four interceptions and 11 passes defended. He's bringing that same electricity to Duval.
Jacksonville is betting big on Prime’s protégé
The Jaguars didn’t just draft an athlete, they made a statement.
“This was a move about identity,” said Jags GM James Gladstone. “When Travis is himself, he elevates the entire space around him.”
Coach Liam Coen and quarterback Trevor Lawrence are hoping that’s true. Jacksonville’s coming off a rough 4-13 season and needs a spark. Hunter teaming up with WR Brian Thomas Jr. could finally give Lawrence the weapons to live up to his No. 1 billing. And if Hunter lives up to his potential? He'll change the culture of that franchise.
Even if he stumbled on a few routes in minicamp footage, the vibes coming out of Jaguars camp are nothing but high. Coaches and execs are buzzing. They believe they’ve got someone special.
For Buffs fans, this one feels personal
It’s bittersweet. We knew this was Hunter's last season, but seeing all these life-changing events for him in less than eight months is a reminder of what Coach Prime has built—and what Buffs football is capable of producing.
We’ll be watching every snap, every catch, every pick. Because no matter where Travis Hunter plays, he’s always repping the Black and Gold deep in his DNA.
