Rising NFL star Travis Hunter looked dashing in a crisp white suit as he married his bride Leanna Lenee at a charming barn in Athens, Tennessee earlier today, exclusively revealed by DailyMail.com.

Hunter, 22, who earned the prestigious Heisman Trophy as college football’s top player, tied the knot with his longtime partner, 23, this afternoon at The Barn at Faith Farms. This luxury wedding venue is situated between Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee, offering a ‘full experience package’ that is advertised at $6,000.

Lenee – whose full name is Leanna De La Fuente – complemented her groom’s style in two exquisite custom-made dresses by New York designer Justin Alexander, featuring a stunning figure-hugging gown with a matching veil adorned with intricately crafted roses.

The groom, who was drafted second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, surprised his new wife with a generous wedding present – a luxury six-figure black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800, to whoops and cheers from their guests at its unveiling.

The chic 20-acre venue – which was surrounded by heavy security – is nestled in an idyllic spot an hour outside Chattanooga, with a pond, lush greenery and can hold up to 250 guests.

The lavish nuptials, which appeared to have a black and white decoration theme, boasted a tasteful reception marquee with stunning chandeliers and the tables adorned with huge white floral bouquets and candelabras.

The happy couple treated their family and friends to a mouthwatering menu, with a towering cream iced five-tier wedding cake for dessert.

The menu started with a fresh green salad with onion, cherry tomato and feta crumble tossed in an Italian dressing.

Guests had a choice of an entrée of either seared stuffed chicken or petite Maine lobster tail over garlic mash in a lemon butter sauce.

Hunter is one of the greatest talents of the class of 2025, having starred at the Colorado Buffaloes as a wide receiver and a cornerback. The Jaguars were so determined to get Hunter they traded the fifth-overall pick, second- and fourth-round selections as well as a 2026 first-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for the right to move up in the draft and take the two-way star last month. 

The Georgia native recently completed his rookie minicamp before heading to Eastern Tennessee to tie the knot today. 

It was revealed previously that Hunter’s father, Travis Hunter Sr, was granted permission by a judge to attend his son’s wedding this weekend. Hunter Sr is about halfway through a community control part of his sentence over gun and drug charges.

The younger Hunter is projected to sign a rookie deal valued around $50 million. Last year’s second-overall pick, Jayden Daniels, signed a $37.3 million four-year deal that included a $24.3 million signing bonus.

Lenee’s fame spiked last December, following the his Heisman Trophy win.

Many fans criticized her for perceived slights against Hunter, including what they interpreted as a slow reaction to his historic honor. As Hunter was announced as the Heisman winner, Lenee initially remained sitting while Hunter’s mother and Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders stood to their feet.

She briefly stood and gave Hunter a hug after Sanders appeared to tap her, but promptly sat back down as the two-way star continued embracing his group.

Fans took issue with what they perceived to be a slight, sparking horrific backlash on social media.

Hunter later revealed that Lenee had cried herself to sleep following the ceremony as she continued to be pelted with criticism.

‘She’s still sleeping, she’s slumped,’ the Heisman winner shared on a Twitch stream. ‘You know when you’re hurt but you just cry yourself to sleep and you just be gone? She drunk [sic], like, an OD amount tonight for no reason.’

Fans perceived other issues as well.

During the run up to the Heisman ceremony, Lenee appeared angry at Hunter as he took pictures with female fans at a planned event.

Lenee was seen seated just a few feet away from Hunter as he took snaps with a female fan, looking upset before asking him ‘What do you want me to do… I’ll just sit here then.’ Hunter then appeared to suggest that she could leave if she felt like it, with the video catching him saying, ‘You could go to the hotel, you can walk around…’

There was video that resurfaced in which Lenee said that Hunter was not her ‘type’ before they had started dating, leading to more vitriol from fans.

Then there was the aftermath of his team’s 52-0 win over Oklahoma State Cowboys in late November, when Lenee and Hunter appeared to get into some sort of argument – with Lenee seemingly rebuffing Hunter’s attempt to kiss her on the cheek.

In the end, though, the couple appears happier than ever after tying the knot in Tennessee with family and friends on hand.
