Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter made history on Thursday as he racked up numerous prestigious awards for his rare achievements as a two-way star during the 2024 college football season. Hunter was named the Associated Press College Football player of the year and won the Walter Camp Award, given to the best player in the nation that season.
In addition to these honors, Hunter was awarded for his play at each of his positions. He won the Biletnikoff Award as the best receiver and the Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player in college football. It was fitting for Hunter especially to win the Bednarik Award. Chuck Bednarik, the namesake of the award, was one of the last NFL players to play on both sides of the ball from 1949 to '62, something Hunter has brought back as he plays both offense and defense.
