Travis Hunter's GPA surfaces after Colorado star's Heisman win
Colorado Buffaloes two-way superstar and 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter was excellent on and off the gridiron, achieving an outstanding GPA score.It was revealed earlier this week that Hunter was named an Academic All-American, sporting a 3.798 cumulative GPA. "The junior from Suwanee, Georgia, is an anthropology major carrying a 3.798 cumulative GPA," read the release. "In the fall of 2023, Hunter earned a 4.0 GPA and followed that up with a spring 2024 semester GPA of 3.908, earning him first-team All-Academic Team honors."
Hunter became the first academic all-American to win the Heisman since former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow in 2007. The 21-year-old, who'll leave Boulder for the NFL next April and is expected to be a top-five draft pick, was as dedicated in the classroom as he was on the football field.
"Travis came to Colorado with a champion mindset transcending the football field to the classroom," said his academic advisor, LaTonya Watson. "Along with that mindset, he set high goals and standards that continue to motivate him to be the best version of himself as he engages in his studies. The Herbst Academic Center staff is equally as proud of Travis's academic accomplishments as his athletic accolades."
