Congratulations to Colorado junior wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter, who was selected as the 2024 Walter Camp Player of the Year, presented by Crabtree Lexus of New Haven.

The award was announced on The Home Depot College Football Awards show on ESPN.  The Walter Camp Player of Year is voted on by the nation’s 134 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors.

On December 11, Walter Camp president John Barbarotta and president-elect Mike Madera traveled to Boulder, Colorado to surprise Travis and tell him about this prestigious honor.

Hunter is the 58th recipient of the Walter Camp Player of the Year award, and the second player from Colorado to earn the honor (Rashaan Salaam, 1994).

Hunter earned First Team All-America honors on both offense (WR) and defense (DB).  It is the first time a player has earned First Team All-America honors on both sides of the ball.   In addition, Hunter is the first Colorado wide receiver since Michael Westbrook (1994) to earn All-America honors, and the first defensive back since 1992 (Deon Figures) to be honored.

A special thank you to the Colorado sports information department as well as the Buffaloes’ football staff for their hospitality and coordination of the visit.
