Deion Sanders issued a message to Travis Hunter as he continues to deal with an onslaught of drama on social media.
Sanders provided some encouraging words for Hunter ahead of Saturday’s Bowl Game versus BYU.
Sometimes, you just need some uplifting words from your coach and the support from your teammates, and that is exactly what he got as he embarks on his final college game.
After two-way star Travis Hunter scrubbed his Instagram in order to shield himself from online criticism involving his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, the Colorado head coach made it a point to call him to stand in the center of his teammates during a recent practice.
“I want you to know this in front of everybody,”
“You know we love you, We got you. We appreciate you. You are him.” Sanders said.
Coach Prime to Travis Hunter ❤️
“You know we love you, We got you”
“You are HIM”

Lenee has also deleted or deactivated her Instagram until social media moves on to the next major topic.
Leanna Lenee Has Become Public Enemy Number One Ever Since Deion Sanders Had To tell Her To Stand For Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter’s fiancée, Leanna Lenee, was there when the Colorado football star capped off an incredible season by winning the Heisman Trophy. Unfortunately, social media trolls immediately started blasting her.
Coach Prime, who has served as a mentor for Hunter since high school, had to touch Lenee on her back to stand after he won the Heisman to get her to stand up.
Social media has made it a point to attack her ever since.
Social media began spreading rumors about Lenee, saying Hunter must drop her before it’s too late.
Hunter responded to the criticism during an appearance on an episode of “The Pivot Podcast.”
“She might look irritated towards me, but at the same time, there’s a lot of stuff she deals with during the game,” Hunter told the podcast hosts. “There’s a lot of stuff people don’t see.”
It wasn’t the first time Hunter had come to Lenee’s defense, nor would it be the last.
It does not appear that Travis Hunter has any plans to part ways with his girl.
Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.
If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.
Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:
“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…
Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “
