Does Travis Hunter have a chance to win the Heisman? There are a few things working against him, as he currently sits seventh on a list dominated by quarterbacks. Since the Heisman has always favored quarterbacks, the success of his team will probably have an impact on where he finishes in the race.
Though they defeated the Knights, the Buffs‘ offensive problems from the previous campaign persist. To be candid, even with all the behind-the-scenes changes, Colorado is not a dominant force in college football.
Still, Cam Newton thinks Hunter should win the Heisman. Every game starring Hunter is “must-watch TV,” according to the former quarterback, just like it was when Johnny Manziel was the star of college football.

Newton responded without hesitation when asked if Hunter ought to win the Heisman Trophy, saying: ‘Yes. Travis Hunter is the first player to take hold of college football since Johnny Manziel. Johnny Manziel in college was must-see TV whether off the field issue or whether like motherf**ker was going to ball.”
Like Manziel, he thinks Hunter will always draw attention and deliver remarkable performances. In contrast to the former Texas A&M standout, Hunter has avoided any off-field scandals, which in the current NIL environment is a remarkable accomplishment.
“I’m so pleased about Travis, he has not got into any trouble. That should be a celebration in itself. Everything that coming to him, he deserves.”
Newton highlighted that Hunter deserves all of the success he is now enjoying. The UCEF Knights were soundly defeated by the Buffaloes, who triumphed 48–21 away from home. Their dual-threat quarterback performed admirably, catching a ball, scoring a touchdown, and celebrating with a Heisman stance.
Hunter caught nine passes for eighty-nine yards. Moreover, he made two tackles and a diving pick, demonstrating his ability to be a dual threat once more.
