As Colorado’s two-way star, Travis Hunter, prepares for the 2025 NFL Draft, fans are also curious about his life off the field. Let’s examine his relationship with Leanna Lenee, and whether the two are already married.
Have Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee Tied the Knot?
Hunter has been engaged to Lenee for nearly a year, but the couple has not yet tied the knot. They met as teenagers and have seemingly lived together, according to one of her TikTok posts from March 2024, where she wrote: “What it feels like when God allows you to meet the man of your dreams at 19 and every night together for the past 3 years has felt like a sleepover with your best friend.”
The couple first connected in late 2021, and it took a few months before they started dating. According to a YouTube video they recorded together in October 2022, it was Hunter who made the first move on Instagram.
At first, Lenee only wanted to be friends. But after a few months of texting, Hunter accompanied her to a friend’s birthday party when she didn’t want to go alone. That night changed everything. “We’ve been in love ever since then,” Hunter said.
They now celebrate their anniversary on Feb. 26, marking the start of their relationship in 2022. Two years later, in February 2024, Hunter proposed with a diamond band ring, and the announcement came during what would become a Heisman Trophy-winning season.
The couple is also known for showering each other with gifts. Hunter surprised Lenee with a Tesla Model X for her 22nd birthday, while she returned the favor by gifting him a Ram 1500 TRX on his 21st birthday.
Lenee Wants to See Hunter Drafted by the Green Bay Packers
Lenee, a graduate of Kennesaw State University, is a devoted Green Bay Packers fan and has expressed her wish to see Hunter land in Green Bay.
“Because I love the Packers, and my godfather coached the Packers,” she said in a 2022 YouTube video.
That dream, however, seems very unlikely. The Packers currently hold the No. 23 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, while Hunter is widely projected as a top-five selection.
It would take a blockbuster trade for Green Bay to have a shot at Hunter, and that seems like a long shot.
Hunter’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Hunter enters the NFL Draft as one of the best prospects in the class, and he also profiles as one of the most intriguing players in recent memory since he legitimately qualifies as a top-five pick at two positions. He is truly a one-of-one type of NFL prospect that will spark a lot of debate for not just the media, but decision-makers at the top of the draft as well.
The question, of course, lies in what position Hunter will play at the next level or if it’s a combination of the two. As a prospect, Hunter possesses below-average overall size and length but offers once-in-a-generation type of overall athleticism. He has rare quickness, speed, and burst that allow him to excel and win against most players he lines up against on either side of the ball.
Furthermore, Hunter has rare instincts, ball skills and is hyper-competitive, all of which are evident in the way he plays the game. When playing offense, Hunter is a big-play threat whenever he touches the football. He displays rare ability with the ball in his hands and has outstanding start/stop quickness and lateral agility to make defenders miss in the open field. Additionally, his speed and acceleration allow him to defeat angles and hit big plays.
Hunter is not the most refined route runner and lacks the nuance in his game to set up defenders throughout the route — something that he must develop as he plays more athletic corners in the NFL. With that being said, Hunter can create easy separation at the top of the route as he explodes out of cuts, often leaving his defender stuck in place.
Hunter is a tremendous deep threat with the speed to stretch the field and the ball skills to track the football downfield. He has the rare ability to play the football in the air and is a tremendous ball-winner, even though he has a smaller frame. Hunter has exceptional hands and can catch outside of his frame with ease. His lack of size limits his ability to break tackles as a ball carrier and also makes it difficult for him to sustain blocks down the field; however, the effort is there.
On the defensive side of the football, Hunter projects to be a lockdown cover man who can excel in both zone and man disciplines. In zone coverage, Hunter displays outstanding instincts and awareness. He can read the quarterback’s eyes while dropping back in his zone and has the quickness to put his foot in the ground to make a play on the football. His foot quickness and hip fluidity allow him to be exceptional in mirroring route patterns in man coverage.
He is able to stay in phase against most receivers and is never panicked when working down the field. He is a playmaker at corner and has the ability to play the football and come up with interceptions.
His size is a concern, however, as he lacks the mass and length to be left on an island against NFL-caliber receivers. Hunter struggles when asked to press receivers at the line of scrimmage and can easily get overpowered by bigger wideouts. He lacks the size to win at the catch point at times and will be a liability in run support as he struggles to get off blocks consistently.
To make Hunter’s evaluation a bit more murky, he’s also struggled to stay healthy throughout his collegiate career. His lack of size and the fact that he played more snaps than any player in college football make Hunter an injury risk at the next level, and teams may argue he cannot play both ways on a full-time basis in the NFL.
While many evaluators think Hunter’s ideal fit is as a full-time corner who plays a handful of offensive snaps, some think he has more upside as a full-time receiver. His rare athleticism should translate easily on the offensive side of the football, and he can be an instant game-changing player at receiver.
There is no wrong answer here, however, and whichever team drafts him will surely be getting a franchise-altering talent.
