Angel Reese makes Travis Hunter feelings clear after Colorado star's Heisman win

WNBA superstar Angel Reese was among the many athletes who paid tribute to Travis Hunter after he won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday.

The Colorado sensation was named the best player in college football at the ceremony in New York City, narrowly beating out Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty in the vote.

Hunter was recognized for his remarkable contributions as both a wide receiver and a cornerback.

The NFL-bound junior racked up 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns on the offensive side this season, adding four interceptions and a forced fumble as a defensive back.

Hunter received 552 first-place votes and 2,231 points, with runner-up Jeanty finishing with 309 first-place votes and 2,017 points, making it the tightest Heisman vote since Mark Ingram's victory over Toby Gerhart in 2009.
