Travis Hunter's father, currently on probation, gets permission to attend NFL Draft

Hunter Sr., 39, was jailed on drug and gun charges back in September from an incident that occurred in 2023. But, a Florida court is making a temporary change for him this week.

Hunter Sr. will be limited to traveling only to and from the hotel and the draft, and must be back home on Friday. He was required to submit a travel itinerary to his community control officer, the Palm Beach Post noted.

Upon winning the Heisman, Hunter was emotional when speaking about his father.

"All the times that you didn't get to see me, or the times you did come to see my games. From not seeing probably two games in high school to seeing me on TV every weekend and coming to see me. That means so much to me. I know you wanted to be here, and you can't, but trust me, I got you. I'm bringing the trophy home. I love you."
