Colorado star Travis Hunter named semifinalist for Biletnikoff Award

Travis Hunter has a chance to achieve a lot of firsts over the next few weeks.

One of those would be being the first Colorado player to win the Fred Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation’s top pass catcher, and Hunter was named one of 11 semifinalists for the award on Tuesday morning.

Through 10 games, Hunter leads the Buffaloes in catches (74), receiving yards (911) and receiving touchdowns (9). He’s tied for first in the Big 12 in touchdowns, second in catches and fourth in yards.

In addition to becoming the second Heisman Trophy winner in program history, Hunter is also trying to become the first Buffs player to ever win two major college football awards in their career. Hunter won the Paul Hornung Award, given to the nation’s most versatile player, last season and he’s one of three finalists for the award again this season.

Hunter is also a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award, given to the nation’s top player, and the Bednarik Award, given to the nation’s top defensive award.

There’s a good chance his trophy case starts to fill up over the next few weeks.
