Travis Hunter seemingly has something big planned for Saturday's Heisman Trophy ceremony.
When asked on SportsCenter who the biggest celebrity he's heard from amid his Heisman recognition was, the Colorado two-way star teased that a celebrity will make an appearance in New York.
"You'll see tonight," he said (7:25 mark). "He is actually popping up, so you'll see him."
Hunter has become one of college football's biggest stars over the past few seasons and in turn has received praise from some of the biggest names in sports, including Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
It's unclear who Hunter was alluding to, but it will apparently be a big name.
Hunter was named one of four Heisman finalists after a tremendous season on both sides of the ball in what would likely be his final collegiate season. He racked up 1,152 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns on offense while recording 31 tackles, 11 passes defended, four interceptions and a forced fumble on defense.
Perhaps his most impressive stat, Hunter played 1,380 snaps in 12 games this year—670 on offense, 686 on defense and 24 on special teams.
Thanks to Hunter's big year, Colorado finished 9-3 in the regular season, the Buffs' best year since 2016.
Hunter will find out whether his production earned him the coveted Heisman Trophy over Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, Miami's Cam Ward and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
