Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Isaac Wilson, a transfer from Utah, has a unique bragging right - he was the only quarterback to throw a touchdown pass against 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. Wilson reminisced about that feat in a recent video, recalling his 40-yard TD pass to Dorian Singer while playing against Hunter's Colorado team in 2024.

Why it matters

Wilson's touchdown pass against Hunter, one of the top defensive players in college football, is a notable accomplishment that highlights his potential as a quarterback. As he joins the Buffaloes, this connection to a Heisman winner could give Wilson some added credibility and confidence.

The details

In 2024, Wilson started seven games as a true freshman for Utah, including a matchup against Colorado on November 16. While the Buffaloes won that game 49-24, Wilson's 40-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Dorian Singer against Hunter's defense was a bright spot in an otherwise tough outing. Wilson completed 21 of 40 passes for 236 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in that game.
