There is no question about whether or not Travis Hunter wants the Heisman Trophy.

Hunter scored on a 26-yard touchdown catch from Shedeur Sanders in the third quarter of Colorado’s game against the Kansas Jayhawks at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Saturday. Even though his team was trailing in the game despite the TD, Hunter still celebrated.

The Colorado two-way player did the Heisman Trophy pose in the end zone:

That was Hunter’s second touchdown catch of the game. He also had made several tackles on defense in just over a half of the game.

How many players are starring on both ends of the field like Hunter? Not many. That’s why Hunter is the heavy favorite to win the coveted honor.

Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Miami quarterback Cam Ward are also in the mix, but efforts like he put together on Saturday are why Hunter is the leader for the trophy.
