Another fan was moved by the display and recalled watching Rashaan Salaam, the first Buff to win the Heisman, during his Heisman year.
They commented, saying, “I had the pleasure to watch Rashaan Salaam’s Heisman year, and Travis’s was just as exciting. I hope I get to see another Buff win one before I’m dust.”

Travis Hunter Secures Massive Deal With Adidas
Things just keep getting better for Hunter. The Heisman winner, who is notorious for pulling hilarious pranks like “stealing” Deion Sanders’ shoes and sneaking off with his cars, might now be the one getting his shoes stolen after his latest business move.
Hunter just signed a multi-year NIL deal with Adidas, a partnership that solidifies him as one of the biggest stars in college football. It also places him among the most valuable CFB players, with his NIL valuation now estimated at $5.2 million.
Hunter included a clause that loops his brother Trayvis, who is about to enter college football, into the deal. This shows Hunter’s commitment to his family and his faith in his brother’s potential as a football player. It also highlights his growing influence, which grants him flexibility in his NIL deals.
With the 2025 NFL Draft ahead, it seems things can only go up from here for Hunter. Fans of the Buffaloes and Hunter have a lot to look forward to as their star player heads toward what promises to be an iconic NFL career.
