The two-way Colorado Buffaloes star Hunter received the coveted award on Saturday night in New York City.
And a video showed an awkward moment between the cornerback and wide receiver’s girlfriend and fiancée Lenee and Sanders.
The clip showed Sanders alongside Hunter’s mother, Ferrante Edmonds, and Lenee in the front row of the ceremony.
After it was announced that Hunter won the Heisman Trophy winner, Sanders and Edmonds stood up and clapped their hands, but Lenee was sitting down while clapping it up.

Sanders then tapped Lenee on the shoulder to stand up and she finally stood up and hugged Hunter before sitting back down.
Fortunately, the sequence wasn’t shown on the television broadcast which only showed Hunter and Lenee’s embrace moment.
Still, fans spotted the video of the sequence on X and predictably reacted to it.
“Red flags everywhere with this girl,” one commented.
“Travis needs to get away from that woman,” another wrote.
“Deion deserves coach of the year for that one,” a third added.
Social media users have slammed Lenee for numerous incidents, including during another moment at the award presentation ceremony.
Lenee was spotted a few feet away from Hunter, who was taking snaps with a female fan.
She appeared to ask him, “What do you want me to do… I’ll just sit here then,” to which Hunter appeared to suggest that she could leave if she wanted to.
Hunter and Lenee announced their engagement in February.
Still, there was a heartfelt moment with Hunter and his future wife.
During his Heisman speech, the 21-year-old said it was Lenee who got him to like rapper Lil Wayne’s music.
“Wayne, you don’t know how you came into our life, man,” Hunter said to the musician who was in attendance of the ceremony.
“My fiancée (Lenee) loves you. I didn’t know none of your songs until she let me know because I don’t listen to music.
“She let me know. She told me, like, ‘You gotta listen to this. If you don’t listen to music, listen to Wayne.’
“And from that day on, that’s all I listened to.”
