NEW YORK -- Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, capping a season in which he was a dominant force on both sides of the ball for Colorado.
The star cornerback/receiver became the second Buffaloes player to win college football's most prestigious award, following late running back Rashaan Salaam in 1994.
Hunter garnered 552 first-place votes for 2,231 total points. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty was second with 309 first-place votes and 2,017 points. It marked the closest margin of victory since 2009, when Mark Ingram edged Toby Gerhart.
Two quarterbacks -- Dillon Gabriel of Oregon and Cam Ward of Miami -- finished third and fourth, respectively.
