The Colorado Buffaloes might be losing Heisman winner Travis Hunter to the NFL, but that did not stop them from making sure he earned a degree.
Hunter recently celebrated the honor this week.

While Hunter becoming an NFL player is impressive, graduating from college might be even more impressive.
College athletes have to find a way to balance a lot of things during their college careers.
Some athletes decide to forget about the degree and just head to the next level, where they can make millions of dollars.
For Hunter, even if he is set to make millions of dollars in the NFL, he valued his education and wanted to make sure that he got the job done.
Travis Hunter Is Now Fully Ready for the NFL
Now that Hunter has his degree, along with his Heisman, he can press on to life in the NFL. The Jacksonville Jaguars made the wise decision to draft Hunter with the second overall pick in last month’s draft.
Now, he will be a key piece of first-year head coach Liam Coen’s roster in 2025. The two-way player excelled at performing as both a wide receiver and cornerback in Boulder. He recorded 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns on 96 receptions last season as a pass-catcher.
At cornerback, he recorded 36 total tackles, four interceptions, and 11 pass deflections while guarding the boundary. There have not been many stars who have shone as brightly as Hunter has during his college days.

All eyes will be on him as he looks to take the Jaguars to new heights as a rookie in the NFL.
