Colorado Buffaloes standout Travis Hunter, known for his exceptional skills on both offense and defense, recently made headlines during an appearance on Shedeur Sanders’ podcast, “2Legendary with Shedeur Sanders.” The conversation, which initially centered around Hunter’s impressive college football season and his Heisman Trophy campaign, took an unexpected turn when the topic shifted to Hunter’s personal life.
Hunter’s relationship with his fiance, Leanna Lenee, has been in the public eye since the pair reportedly began dating in 2022. Their engagement earlier this year had fans wondering when the big day would come. Sanders, curious about any new developments, asked Hunter for updates on the wedding plans.

In response, Hunter confidently disclosed the wedding date: “May 24th,” he said, with a telling smile. What stood out most was his follow-up remark-this significant date would take place “right after rookie minicamp.”
The detail didn’t go unnoticed. Hunter‘s casual mention hinted at something more than just wedding logistics. While fans might have initially focused on the couple’s upcoming nuptials, his comment seemed to confirm a major decision about his football career. The timing suggests that Hunter is already eyeing the NFL Draft in 2025, aligning personal milestones with the professional football calendar.
The revelation aligns with Hunter’s current trajectory. As one of college football’s most versatile and talked-about players, he is projected to be a top pick in the upcoming draft. This season, Hunter has delivered standout performances as both a wide receiver and a cornerback. He leads the Buffaloes’ receiving corps with eight touchdowns and 757 yards on 60 catches, showcasing his explosive playmaking ability. On defense, he’s been just as formidable, accumulating two interceptions, 20 tackles, and a forced fumble.
