Travis Hunter Leads Heisman Race as Ashton Jeanty Pushes for Historic Upset

Colorado's two-way star and Boise State's record-breaking running back dominate the Heisman conversation heading into final games and voting.

Travis Hunter, Colorado's standout wide receiver and cornerback, is the frontrunner for the 2024 Heisman Trophy after a remarkable two-way season with 1,152 receiving yards, 14 touchdowns, and four interceptions on defense.
Boise State's Ashton Jeanty remains a strong contender, boasting 2,288 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns, with a chance to further bolster his case in the Mountain West Championship Game against UNLV on Friday night.
Critics argue that Jeanty's Heisman chances are hindered by bias against players from smaller conferences, despite his dominance against top defenses and Boise State's 11-1 record.
Travis Hunter's exclusion from the Thorpe Award finalists list has sparked debate, with supporters emphasizing his unprecedented impact as a two-way player in college football.
The Heisman race highlights differing values among voters, with Hunter's versatility and Jeanty's record-breaking production representing two distinct paths to college football's highest individual honor.
