Travis Hunter is taking his touchdowns to the next level. This time, he’s enlisting the help of YouTube star Kai Cenat and the Jabbawockeez dance crew. Hunter is not one to shy away from the spotlight, having already collaborated with Cenat for a viral celebration in Week 11.
After catching a 24-yard touchdown pass against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Hunter brought the moves taught to him by Cenat during a pre-game TikTok stream.

Travis Hunter Collabs With Kai Cenat for Yet Another TD Celebration
As the No. 18 Colorado Buffaloes clash with Utah, Cenat challenged Hunter to execute a Jabbawockeez-inspired touchdown celebration choreographed by the crew. Millions of football fans will be tuning in on Fox, and the stakes for both style and execution couldn’t be higher for the Buffs’ two-way sensation.

Against Texas Tech, Hunter delivered yet another A+ performance, tallying nine receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown. He logged 162 snaps against the Red Raiders, showing his talent and versatility as a two-way player.
His season stats — 69 catches for 856 yards and nine touchdowns — have placed him on the highest pedestal regarding Heisman Trophy candidacy and 2025 NFL Draft potential. Former football player Joel Klatt backed him on “The Joel Klatt Show.”
“He is going to win the Heisman if Colorado gets to the Big 12 Championship Game, and he should because no one else is doing this. All due respect to Ashton Jeanty, you’re having a great year, but like, a Mountain West running back is not winning the Heisman Trophy over a guy that’s in the Big 12 doing what he’s doing on both sides of the ball.” [24:00]
With the Deion Sanders-led Colorado Buffaloes eyeing a spot in the Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff, Hunter remains at the center of their redemption after suffering all sorts of media scrutiny for a 4-8 season last year.
Coach Prime and the Buffs will host the Utah Utes at Folsom Field on Saturday in Week 12. Fans will await Hunter’s response to Cenat’s latest celebration suggestion. Will the star cornerback-turned-receiver pull off the Jabbawockeez routine? Find out this weekend.
However, one thing is certain: Hunter is redefining what it means to be a college football superstar, blending athleticism, charisma, and pop culture.
