“He’s doing s*it in real time”: YouTuber Kai Cenat credits Travis Hunter, Ryan Williams and more for turning him into a college football enthusiast

YouTuber Kai Cenat has suddenly become more interested in college football due to some of the sport's biggest names at the moment. In a stream, he said Alabama sensation Ryan Williams, Boise State's Ashton Jeanty and Colorado star Travis Hunter are three players who got him engaged with the sport.

On Hunter, Cenat said:

“Everytime I watch Travis Hunter, I can put his game on, and he’s doing sh*t in real time.”

Travis Hunter has been having an extraordinary year, recording a team-leading 757 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. On defense, he has 21 tackles and two interceptions.

Travis Hunter deeply embroiled in the Heisman battle

Two of Kai Cenat's mentions, Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty, have both been involved in the race for the Heisman Trophy. Quarterbacks have dominated the award for a long time, so having either of these two win would be a remarkable feat.

Ashton Jeanty is having a record-breaking season and could still break the Division I record for season rushing yards. He currently has 1,525 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns from 190 carries. But, while this will be a season that may live long in the record books, it might not be enough to win the Heisman Trophy.

According to Fanduel, after Week 10's action, the current favorite to win the award is Cam Ward, the quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes, who has thrown for 3,146 yards and 26 touchdowns this season.

His overall dominance has helped the Miami Hurricanes be one of the few undefeated teams left in college football.

Ben enjoys following college sports more than the NBA or NFL because there is more variation in terms of playstyles. The tournaments are often more competitive than the major leagues, and due to the constant turnover of players, there are rarely any "superteams" in college sports.

He prioritizes research, looks at multiple sources and publications to make sure he gets the full picture of the story before writing. He tries not to write from a one-sided perspective to allow the reader to be able to make their mind up on their own.

A Texas Longhorns fan, as well as a massive New York Giants fan, some of his favorite college players of all time are Arch Manning, Tim Tebow and Reggie Bush.

When he is not working, Ben enjoys watching films (especially Godzilla) and spending time with his cat.
