Travis Hunter and his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, are giving fans serious couple goals as they celebrate her 23rd birthday in style. Amidst a thrilling 2024 college football season where Hunter continues to make a strong case for the Heisman Trophy, the Colorado Buffaloes star took a well-deserved break to shower his love with surprises in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Leanna, who boasts 154,000 Instagram followers, shared photos of the getaway, including one in which she wore a stunning, low-cut yellow dress. She captioned the post with “in your dreams 🌼.” The birthday girl looked radiant as ever, while Hunter showed his love in the comments, writing, “Yay ❤.”
This was probably the last stop of their celebration. Lenee has been posting plenty of IG stories and posts. Hunter even treated her to a luxury yacht ride, where Leanna flaunted her chic black bikini and butterfly tattoo, giving fans an inside look at their dreamlike retreat.
The Colorado CB/WR made sure the festivities were unforgettable. He went all out on the romance, filling out a hotel room with balloons, rose petals, wine, etc.
Hunter also wrote a personalized card saying, “Baby, I hope you enjoy your flowers, cake, win, and room decor. I love you so much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”
The surprises didn’t end there; rap legend Lil Wayne even joined in the fun, sending Leanna a birthday shoutout with a collage on Instagram, captioned, “HBD Luv!!!!!!!!!!!!”
As the couple enjoy their time in paradise, Hunter’s football season remains a hot topic. The Colorado two-ways sensation was out with his A-game of Saturday in the Week 13 matchup against the Kansas Jayhawks. While the Buffaloes lost 37-21 to Kansas, Hunter was phenomenal on both sides of the ball.
He recorded eight receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns while registering seven tackles and a pass breakup on defense. Hunter’s performance keeps him firmly in the Heisman Trophy conversation, with his fiancée cheering him on every step of the way.
Leanna has constantly supported Hunter, from her creative Heisman campaigns to her stylish gameday outfits. Hunter is projected to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and plans to continue to be on his side, being his biggest cheerleader.
Hunter’s Latest Draft Projection
Pro Football Network recently released an updated top-100 big board, highlighting the best of the best from this college football season. To the surprise of no one, Hunter was the top prospect on the list.
“Travis Hunter is one of one. If we had allowed ourselves to split the player into a cornerback and wide receiver, he would have ranked first and 12th, respectively. He’s the top cornerback in the NFL Draft, and he’s the second-best receiver. His rare ball skills as a wide receiver translate to the other side of the ball, and he’s played with more physicality in 2024 than in 2023.
He won’t play full-time on both sides at the next level. Teams must decide if he’s more valuable to them as a full-time defensive or offensive player. In my opinion, it would be malpractice to take away a potentially generational defensive prospect from that side of the ball entirely. A “best of both worlds” scenario would be playing 80-100% of the team’s defensive snaps while also playing 10-20% of the offensive snaps.”
In PFN’s most recent 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Hunter went first overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“The MDS has followed the growing consensus that Travis Hunter is the firm favorite to be drafted first overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. In a class where only a handful of players hold true first-round grades and even fewer are viewed as blue-chip caliber talents, Hunter stands out as an elite prospect with rare athleticism.
The Jacksonville Jaguars must improve their secondary, so this would be a home run selection for Jacksonville because Colorado’s two-way player projects best as a cornerback who can occasionally play offensive downs as a sub-package player.”
