Jaguars star Travis Hunter baptized hours before Seahawks loss
Jaguars two-way rookie Travis Hunter said his life was changed after getting baptized Sunday, hours before the team’s loss to the Seahawks, 20-12, in Jacksonville.
Hunter, 22, who plays wide receiver and defensive back, was baptized at Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Fla., as seen in a video shared by Kristine Love.
“Couldn’t find my keys this morning and was late for church, only to come upon Jacksonville Jaguars Travis Hunter getting baptized!” Love wrote, including the video of the ceremony.
“He asked to come get baptized before today’s game.”
Hunter explained that getting baptized was in his plans, and he’s looking forward to this next chapter.
“It’s Sunday. It’s God’s day. I’ve been planning to go get baptized for a minute,” Hunter said, according to ESPN. “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 church is about 14 miles from EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville.
The former Colorado star and his wife, Leanna Lenee, are open about their religious beliefs.
The couple tied the knot in May 2025, and welcomed their first child, a baby boy, this August.
After being baptized, Hunter tallied four receptions for 15 yards while playing a season-high 61 offensive snaps.
He tallied 22 snaps on defense and added two tackles.
