Jaguars' Two-Way Star Graduates with Near-Perfect GPA

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Jacksonville Jaguars are excited about the arrival of their newest two-way star, Travis Hunter. The former college standout not only excelled on the field, but also in the classroom, graduating with a near-perfect 3.9 GPA from the University of Colorado.

Hunter's academic achievements are particularly impressive given the demanding schedule and responsibilities of being one of the best college football players in the country. Typically, NCAA student-athletes must take 15 credits worth of classes to remain eligible, often juggling five courses worth three credits each. However, Hunter managed to maintain a stellar 3.9 GPA, just one-tenth of a point shy of a perfect 4.0.

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen is confident that Hunter's ability to excel in both academics and athletics will translate to the professional level. "He made a couple of good catches on some option routes and only missed one tackle defensively that I noticed," Coen said after observing Hunter's performance in a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "I'll have to watch the tape a little bit more, but I thought offensively, he made the right decisions."

Hunter's impressive accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. Earlier this year, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh acknowledged the challenges of learning both sides of the ball in the NFL, but Hunter remains undaunted. "It's the only thing I ever did is play football," he said during pre-draft workouts. "And go out there, study, and make sure I know what I'm doing."

As the Jaguars prepare for the upcoming season, they are confident that Hunter's unique blend of athletic prowess and academic excellence will make him a valuable asset to the team.
