To be clear, this is nowhere near a complete collection of highlights. It is, however, all the ones I’ve personally gotten of him over the last three years at home games and the away games I’ve been able to attend, (while cycling back and forth between still and video cameras). Kind of my own little tribute/homage collage to #2.
Also, don’t worry. Only the first clip is in portrait mode. The rest are in landscape. I’m not a monster!
Enjoy!
Thanks for the great memories.
what a fine video, thank you!
espn each day with 4 stories on Hunter, zero for the best RB ever.
Why am I not surprised? Tell me there isn’t an agenda. Yet, for those who’ve played the game or coach it, AJ was the clear winner.
He still might be! I did not expect him to win the Maxwell, and the fact he did–with it being some kind of bellwether for the Heisman– leads me to suspect it’s still possible he got enough votes. We’ll know in a few hours!

best receiver? this season?
best defensive player? this season?
would love to see how the stats support that
They don’t–period!
painful to read, 2 players or so sit on top of those stats and are being, well, whatever.
Rooting for Ashton, and it’s OK no matter what the political voting thing does, our guy is still legit.
The Heisman was a travisty😵.
Time to go and kick a butt on the field.
Hopefully it lights a fire. It sucks that the hype machine lost it for Ashton. Any other year, he probably would have won. This has echoes of the Charles Woodson / Peyton Manning travesty. Awarded to the “new” type of player, not the best player.
There will be other athlets that can play both ways in the seasons to come. It won’t even seem note worty, but there will be no Ashton Jeanty for decades or maybe never. Ashton can peanalized for playing at BSU. I hope that when we play Penn State that he runs them onto the ground. I don’t think SMU has a chance….
Rest plus chip equals success…
It’s all OK, i feel bad for Hunter, he knows the stats don’t line up, to the point he was the second most Heisman worthy player… on his own team. Have you taken a good look at Shadeur’s stats?
God’s in control, and I wish health and fine lives for all involved. All of us for that matter too. Lets see Jeanty get a fine NFL contract, protect his brain, and make big differences in a fulfilling life 🙂
Well, that’s over with. Not what we wanted but what we expected.
And I suppose much of the reasoning concerns Biose playing in a G rather than P conference. There is one way to prove them all wrong—open up a can of whoop a$$ for the next three games.
Sadly, it was exactly like I expected. Just reading the hype over the last month gave me a foretelling of the travesty coming. Shadeur Sanders contributed more to the team than Hunter, as did the other three Heisman candidates. Had Hunter stayed at Jackson State, he would have merely been another good player. Not great-good. But, Deion Sanders knows how to run the hype train, and it was his name more than anything tangible that led to these results. How sad.
I’ve seen Hunter’s GPA flash around the last couple of weeks. I don’t see, nor have I ever seen, the connection between good grades and character or making that person a more valuable player to his team. However, a player who commits to a school and stays through thick and thin, turning down millions to do so, is a person with character. One guy uses the team to make himself look better, the other uses himself to make others look better. However, let’s be honest, the trophy in itself means (1) the recipient is a good college football player, (2)… Read more »
Well said. I sniffed around and found out Hunter’s major is anthropology. Sorry, not impressed. For those of us who view things without homer glasses, and are (sadly, sometimes) steeped in research involving verifiable facts, what we witnessed was, as you said, a good PR department (and name recognition-Sanders) and nothing more. Every post I’ve made regarding an objective statistical analysis was met with the typical deflections. Not once was my challenge accepted. Imagine that!
I’ll take strength of character, thank you.
I could see this fifty years ago; mistakes could be made. Voters can now watch games, highlights, and reports with a mouse click or two. It’s far too easy to just read news feeds rather than research. The media has become intellectually and curiosity lazy. Not only is the reporting shoddy but there is a lack of well-structured thought. I see far better posts. Sideline Suzie knows little about the game. Reporters in the booth whether at the stadium or in a remote location chatter only to fill in the dead space of silence to either themselves or keep their… Read more »
With such acumen, you too should be a booth broadcaster!! You easily compare to the best of them, so why shouldn’t you win an award as well?
Yeah Travis Hunter wasn’t even a first team all American WR… and yet he somehow won the outstanding WR award… what gives
There was this idea that Jeanty playing for BSU cost him the Heisman by Yahoo sports. Which not only diminishes Travis Hunter achievement, but Jeanty’s and BSU’s too. It’s really a reckless thing to say.
all 4 finalists began in such “lower” conferences-
which means peoples ability to judge other people is poor, myself included 😉
if those are $ decisions in rankings, it’s simple antitrust?
