Some of Hunter's offseason training, heading into this record-setting year was done at AP Ranch in Fort Worth.
The University of Colorado standout played both sides of the ball all season. At wide receiver on offense and cornerback on defense, the junior dominated for Head Coach Deion Sanders and the Buffalos.“AP Ranch is a nonprofit organization whose objective is to leverage sports to develop community leaders by encouraging student athletes to pursue higher education, community service and strong character development,” the director of the facility, Greg Sholars, said.
“I was so excited . Travis is an amazing young man with great work ethic and character. He is and was a great example for our kids. His story is one that needs to be shared widely,” Sholars said.The Ranch is no stranger to greatness when it comes to Heisman glory, but Hunter’s story is history for them.“Travis is our first Heisman winner that trained at AP Ranch prior to winning.
Hunter is in great company when it comes to those who have made a short-term home of AP Ranch. Charlie Ward, a standout in basketball and football at Florida State University in the early 1990s is one of them. Ward won the Heisman in 1993 and was the first to win the accolade for FSU. “Charlie Ward is developing a similarly-missions foundation in Florida, so he’s been out talking with us. Last but certainly not least, Heisman runner-up Max Dugan, former TCU quarterback, also helps with our kids,” Sholars said.“Myles Turner , Devin Funches and several Olympic gold and silver track and field medalists Anna Cockrell, Dalilah Muhammad, Britney Brown and more. We are a beautiful ranch just west of Fort Worth. The facilities that founder Mike Dry have developed are second to none.
As far as Hunter, on offense, he had 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns, plus a rushing score. On defense, he made four interceptions for the Buffs, 32 tackles, and broke up 11 passes, among other statistics that will stay sit in the record books at Colorado.
