Travis Hunter’s Colorado GPA Draws Attention After Jaguars Debut

Originally posted on Athlon Sports  |  By Kevin Borba  |  Last updated Aug 11, 2025 4:10 PM ET

Following a tremendous college football career, where he ascended to stardom at Colorado on and off the field, two-way star Travis Hunter made his NFL preseason debut on Saturday.

The No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who traded four picks to move up to select him, is defying the odds by playing both ways at the NFL level. He had somewhat of a quiet outing in the Jaguars' 31-25 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, recording just two catches for nine yards, while not registering a stat on defense.

While he has a whole career ahead of him, fans took to social media on Monday to reminisce of all that he accomplished this past college football season with notable feats such as winning the Heisman Trophy, winning the Biletnikoff Award (best receiver) and played nearly 1,500 snaps.

However, there seemed to be one Hunter factoid that occured off of the field that has caught the eye of many, which is his GPA.

Travis Hunter's College GPA

Aside from dominating on offense and defense, Hunter was also a superstar in the classroom.

"Dude does it all," commented one user.

"What can't he do," questioned another.

As seen on the program's website, the Psychology major recorded a 4.0 GPA in two of his four semesters in Boulder, while maintaining a cumulative GPA that eclipsed 3.8.

In addition to racking up awards for his play on the field, Hunter was also named AcademicAll-American of the Year, as he earned first-team Academic All-America both years at Colorado.

Travis Hunter's Growing Pains in NFL

Although he was an all-everything in college, Hunter still has some growing pains to endure at the NFL level as indicated in his postgame evaluation by his new head coach Liam Coen.

"I think he made a couple good catches on some option routes," Coen said. "He missed the one tackle defensively that I noticed, like that was the only thing that I kind of noticed. In terms of his about his overall play, I'll have to watch the tape on how he operated defensively a little bit more, but I thought offensively he made the right decisions on those option routes. He made a good catch and almost broke out of that one."

When Does Travis Hunter Play Next?

Although his college teammate and now-Cleveland Browns quarterback, Shedeur Sanders stole the show over the weekend, once Hunter finds his footing it's hard to imagine there will be a bigger story in the NFL. He and the Jags will return to action on Sunday agianst the New Orleans Saints for their second preseason bout.

In terms of his regular-season debut, Hunter and Jacksonville open the year on Sunday Sept. 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
