Wedding bells are ringing. Not in the NFL, but in the NCAA. Colorado Buffaloes cornerback Travis Hunter, who announced his engagement to girlfriend Leanna Lenee in February, has set his wedding plans into motion. However, teammate Shedeur Sanders feels the couple may have been too hasty and missed out on a money-saving idea.

“Are you excited about the wedding?” When Shedeur, during a candid chat with Travis on his YouTube channel, swerved the conversation with this question, the two-way star revealed some of their plans.
“I’m just ready to go,” said Hunter on the 2Legendary podcast. “Eat, dance, do my thing, that’s it. Hang out with guys, hang out with the family.”
When Hunter revealed the date (May 24, next year), Sanders replied in a surprised tone: “Oh, you already got a date?”
The CB confirmed, sharing how it will be right around the time of the rookie minicamp. The venue would be in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Shedeur was a little surprised, confused rather, with the 21-year-old’s choice.
“Why’d you pick Chattanooga, Tennessee, out of everything,” the QB asked.
Hunter explained that the choice was for his girlfriend, who wanted a “good venue” that could accommodate all the guests. That’s when Shedeur suggested an alternate: his dad Deion Sanders’ house.
Hunter was not averse to the idea. However, it was “too late,” he said. Lanee has already paid for the venue. The cornerback explained that people typically start wedding preparations months, if not years, in advance. And locking in the venue was one of the first steps.
Sanders egged on a bit more, pointing out that his father’s house would be budget-friendly, if not free. Travis couldn’t help but agree. “I would have saved so much money,” the two-way star said.
The wedding would mark a perfect beginning to the next chapter in the couple’s. Hunter and Lenee have been together since they were teenagers, and have been supporting each other’s career journeys.
Hunter and Lenee’s love story
Hunter and Lenee started going out in February 2022. It was the cornerback who made the first move.
He DMed his future girlfriend on Instagram and received a reply after two whole months. Another two months of friendship followed before Lenee made it official.
Since then, their relationship has grown strong. Lenee and Hunter regularly share adorable posts for each other on Instagram and give fans glimpses of their life on their shared YouTube channel. Lenee is also the biggest cheerleader for her boyfriend and wishes he would land in the Green Bay Packers next year.
As Hunter is busy with the Buffs, gearing up to build on their 6-2 run in the next matchup, his girlfriend has taken over the wedding planning. As per the cornerback, his finacé has everything under control and all he has to do is show up and have a good time.
