Travis Hunter Jr. got emotional talking about his father during his speech after winning the Heisman Trophy in December, acknowledging Travis Hunter Sr. was unable to attend the ceremony.
But when the younger Hunter's name is called during the NFL Draft on April 24, he could be celebrating with his father by his side.
Travis Hunter Sr. was granted permission by the courts recently to travel to Green Bay for the NFL Draft. Hunter Sr., who lives in Boynton Beach where his son was raised, is scheduled to leave West Palm Beach the day before the draft and ordered to return Friday, the day following the draft, according to court documents.
