Travis Hunter gifts disabled Colorado fan autograph, wristbands after Utah win

There was a touching moment between Travis Hunter and a young fan after Colorado‘s victory against Utah on Saturday. As Hunter was making his way back to the locker room following the game, he noticed a boy sitting in a wheelchair holding a jersey.

The Buffaloes star cornerback and receiver stopped and gave the boy some of his time as he signed the jersey for him. He didn’t stop there, however, taking three wristbands off of his arm and gifting them to him as well. You can view the moment below.

It’s certainly something that the young fan isn’t likely to forget any time soon. The gesture came after another big game from Hunter, who had three tackles and an interception in addition to five catches for 55 yards in the 49-24 win.

Colorado improved to 8-2 (6-1 Big 12) on the season as it inches closer to clinching a spot in the conference championship game. Hunter has been a key reason why both offensively and defensively. The interception against the Utes marked his third this season and he also has 911 yards receiving and nine touchdowns on the year.

Hunter’s performance on Saturday catapulted him in the odds to win the Heisman Trophy. According to lines listed by FanDuel, Hunter is at -240 to win the award. The next closest is Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, at +430.

How rare was what Travis Hunter did on Saturday afternoon? According to Opta Stats, by recording at least 50 receiving yards, scoring a rushing touchdown and intercepting a pass in the same game, Hunter became the first college or NFL player to do so since Champ Bailey during the 2000 NFL season.

He’s in the midst of a historic season and can make it even more special with his performance down the stretch. Now this fan will have a small piece of what Hunter has been able to accomplish.
