A college sports star’s conspicuous spending spree once prompted an NCAA investigation. But now that student athletes are allowed to benefit from their name, image and license (NIL), that’s clearly not an issue these days.

Take Colorado football star Travis Hunter, an All-American cornerback so athletically gifted that he moonlights as a wide receiver for coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes.

In recent years, players like Hunter had to wait to turn pro before they could go out and buy extravagant gifts for their loved ones. But as seen in a recent video posted on Hunter’s YouTube channel, he had no problem buying his mom her dream home in Savannah, Georgia.

“Good news and a good update,” he said in the newly released video. ‘We just got my mother a house. We have just been approved. We want to surprise her.’

A month later, Hunter and his fiancee, Leanna Lee, shocked his mother by bringing her to the 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Savannah.

“You guys are good to me,” Hunter’s mother exclaimed in the video.

And it’s not Hunter’s only big purchase.

The 20-year-old previously bought Lee a car and last month presented her with a diamond engagement ring, which the couple shared online.

And it should come as no surprise that he can afford such generosity. While it’s unclear how much he’s earned from endorsement deals, On3.com ranks him sixth among college athletes with an estimated NIL valuation of $2.4 million.

The future NFL star recently signed deals with EA Spors and Leaf Trading Cards after previously signing with Celsius Energy Drink.

Hunter certainly gets something out of his mother’s new home.

Hunter, originally from the Atlanta area, admittedly has always loved Savannah, in part because it gives him the opportunity to fish.

What’s more, Lee’s parents already live in the historic seaside town that borders South Carolina. So by moving Hunter’s mother to Savannah, the new couple can spend more time with family – both theirs and their partner’s.

“We’re moving her to Savannah next to Leanna’s parents so we don’t have to make two trips every time we go to visit,” Hunter said. ‘And it’s much easier for us. And I can also fish a lot’.

Hunter’s mother was overwhelmed and thanked both her son and his family for the home and told them she loves them.

“Some vanity over there in the closet?” she’s heard suggesting as she stands in her new walk-in closet.

“Thank you so much, give mom a hug.”
