Travis Hunter, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and dual-threat Jacksonville Jaguars rookie, has announced the birth of his son along with his new bride, Leanna Lenee.
'Dear Son,' he captioned the video. 'We love you. Love, Mom and Dad.'
Over the past year, Lenee has been at the center of a firestorm of hate from online commenters - especially over perceived slights directed at Hunter - during the 2024 college football season.
That season ended with Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy, the second ever won by a player from the University of Colorado, and led to him getting picked second-overall by Jacksonville. A few weeks later, Hunter and Lenee would tie the knot in Tennessee at a glamorous wedding following years of dating.
But those years of affection and dating were ignored by trolls who lobbed accusations of gold digging and fame hunting toward Lenee throughout the prior season.
