Joel Klatt Says Travis Hunter Wouldn't Have Won Heisman Trophy Without One Key Factor

Joel Klatt, a college football analyst for Fox Sports, discussed on his podcast why Colorado Buffaloes' two-way star Travis Hunter would not have won the Heisman Trophy despite his impressive performance in the 2023 season. Klatt highlighted that while Hunter's ability to play both offense and defense was remarkable, the key factor missing for him to be a Heisman contender was team success. He pointed out that the Heisman Trophy often goes to players from teams that have successful seasons, and Colorado's 4-8 record did not provide the necessary platform for Hunter to be seriously considered for the award. Klatt emphasized that individual accolades like the Heisman are heavily influenced by the team's overall performance, suggesting that Hunter's potential as a Heisman candidate would have been significantly enhanced had Colorado won more games.
