He wasn’t a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. Travis Hunter has now gained two others.
The Colorado two/manner celebrity is the recipient of each the Chuck Bednarik Award and the Fred Biletnikoff Award.

Bednarik was one of many NFL’s final true two-way gamers, a linebacker and a middle for the Eagles from 1949 by 1962.
Next up for Hunter could possibly be (and arguably ought to be) the Heisman Trophy, given to the most effective participant in all of faculty soccer. Even if he doesn’t get it, the truth that he wasn’t within the working for the Thorpe Award seems to be much more ridiculous than it did when the finalists have been named.
