As Travis Hunter racked up award after award in December—including the Heisman Trophy— following the 2024 college football season, he was also the recipient of significant criticism. These messages and criticism primarily took aim at Hunter's relationship with his fiancé, Leanna Lenee. In the wake of these comments, Hunter and Lenee temporarily deactivated their social media accounts.
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders revealed on the Tamron Hall Show Friday his message to Hunter during that time: "Don't stop."
