Identity of Travis Hunter's Viral Heisman Pose Photographer Revealed, Offers Game Day Inside Information

If Coach Prime is the director of this film, then Travis Hunter is definitely the main star and the talk of the town at the moment “HE12MAN”. Hunter managed to catch around 7 catches for 81 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter of the game. But what made it big news was the pose he struck when he managed to intercept the ball in the 3rd quarter. Hunter was right there when Knights QB KJ Jefferson decided to throw his pass and Travis Hunter intercepted it. And with adrenaline coursing through his veins, Hunter ran to the sideline and struck the iconic Heisman pose.

However, have you ever wondered who is actually behind the viral image? On a live episode of DNVR Sportsthe man behind the camera is finally revealed. Ryan Greene, who took Hunter's photo, said: “It was a little later in the game, I think, in the third quarter, maybe like, yeah, I can't remember exactly. Um, but I was actually upset that I missed his interception.” Greene missed the chance to take a photo of the interception. However, he probably never thought he would get a much better offer.

“I caught him like a tumble. He turned around and I thought, “Oh, I missed the shot.” Green noted. The best part comes next; Hunter turns, runs towards Greene and strikes the pose. Greene had initially thought that Hunter would do a dance move or something, but no, just like his games on the pitch, Hunter's decision to strike the iconic pose was unpredictable.

While Hunter showcased his performance against the Rams (with a record-breaking 13 catches, 1 interception, 100 yards and 2 touchdowns in a single) and his game-winning fumble against the Bears, Hunter's Heisman odds were a comfortable +3500.

But with what he did to poor UCF, he managed to reach the +1800 spot on the Heisman rankings. Even Rich Eisen pointed out that nothing stopped Hunter from going to New York. But as we mentioned, Hunter is actually the main hero of his film “Buff’s Redemption Arc”but you still have to admit that Deion Sanders finally achieved something great with the team.

Stand the test of time

4-1 run and probably one of the most important teams in the Big 12 right now. The road hasn't been easy. Last year the Buffs found themselves in a tough spot. The O-line was a mess and the defense allowed an average of 35 points in almost every game.

And now? Well, the story has changed. With Robert Livingstone As a DC, the entire defense has improved drastically. Against UCF, the Buffs stood firm and didn't allow any of the infamous runs the Knights are known for.

When it came to the offensive line, Shedeur Sanders was well protected. With the tight end present, the threat from the edge of the O-line was neutralized and Shedeur had more than enough time and space to make big plays. If Deion Sanders can maintain the same pace as the team moves deeper into its schedule, they will be unstoppable.
