We will never forget how Travis Hunter dominated college football this season. He cemented his legacy by winning the Heisman and restoring the ceremony as a cultural moment.

It’s the closest we’ve gotten to reliving Prime Time. Hunter followed the blueprint of his mentor and coach – mimicking his swag, demeanor, and versatility – to reach heights not even Coach Prime could in college.

Hunter didn’t just share the stage with Coach Prime and Shedeur. When was the last time you saw a legendary rapper at the Heisman ceremony? His fiancée, Leanne Lenee, drew more headlines than the other Heisman finalists. Hunter made sure his father’s presence was felt, despite not being in attendance. 

The deals are now rolling in as Hunter gets ready for the NFL. Hunter signed last week with Adidas, with a chance to change the football landscape by following the Anthony Edwards blueprint. The EA Sports cover athlete got invited into the 99 Club, the first college player to accomplish that since the game returned.

No player defined the early NIL era like Hunter. His success is now the blueprint for the next era.

The WWE is currently in a golden era, drawing comparisons to its infamous Attitude Era. It heads into 2025 bigger than ever, and it’s taking unconventional paths to find talent and maintain its momentum.

Nebraska track star Meghan Walker could be next in the pipeline of college athletes-turned-WWE wrestlers. She teased the possibility on social media as one of its NIL athletes.

Despite having zero in-ring experience, the athleticism certainly can translate. Just look at Tiffany Stratton, a former St. Catherine gymnast, who is on track to become one of the biggest faces in WWE next year. Roman Reigns made the conversion from Georgia Tech defensive tackle to literally carrying wrestling on his back.

WWE is also building relationships with schools directly to further push its collegiate initiative. The latest Woj bomb came off the top rope. He announced a partnership between St. Bonnies and the WWE on a sick belt and future NIL opportunities. It’s a perfect match for the tiny school attempting to become a collegiate giant, receiving shoutouts during WWE’s globally broadcasted events.
