Travis Hunter’s 2024 has been a series of fortunate events. Along with shining on the gridiron with his dual-threat abilities and becoming a front-runner in the Heisman Trophy race, Hunter also proposed to his girlfriend, Leanna Lenee, this past February — and she said yes.
Travis Hunter on Important Relationship Rule He Follows With Leanna Lenee
According to “People” magazine, Lenee and Hunter began dating in 2022. As with any relationship, healthy boundaries are essential, both within the partnership and with others outside it.
In light of this, on the Dec. 10 episode of “The Pivot Podcast,” Hunter talked about various topics, including an important rule he follows keeping Lenee in mind:
“Everybody in the world know I love my girl. … I love my women. When I take a picture with a girl I make sure my hand is in the front. You can see both of my hands, you know I’m not that close to you. It’s a routine, you know I make sure I only take pictures with females when she around.”

The two met at Collings High School in Georgia and began dating when Hunter was a senior and Lenee was already in college at Kennesaw State University. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in nursing in 2022.
The two also have a YouTube channel with 105k subscribers, where they upload various lifestyle videos.
Given their consideration for each other, in November 2023, Hunter gifted Lenee a customized Tesla Model X for her 22nd birthday, wrapped in a Hello Kitty car wrap.
Meanwhile, Hunter celebrated his 21st birthday with a brand new, custom RAM 1500 TRX truck in 2024, which Lenee gifted to him. According to OutKick, she worked closely with Dreamwork Motorsports to have it customized in under a week.
While it remains unknown how Lenee funded her gift, the NFL-bound athlete has become a NIL millionaire after his collegiate career, with his Name, Image, and Likeness valuation reaching $5.2 million, according to On3. So, he definitely has the means to go all out for her.
And with Hunter entering the draft next year and being potentially selected as the No. 1 pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to PFN’s latest mock draft, he might be in line to sign a $30 million contract.
This is in line with previous contracts for top-five draft picks. For instance, No. 1 pick Caleb Williams went to the Chicago Bears and signed a $39.5 million contract, while the No. 5 selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, Joe Alt, inked a $33.2 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers.
There is also the fact that global sponsors would be looking to endorse him.
