Travis Hunter goes viral after unexpected behavior stuns passengers on United Airlines flight
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ latest draft sensation, Travis Hunter, is already making headlines—and not just for what he does with a football.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ latest draft sensation, Travis Hunter, is already making headlines—and not just for what he does with a football. Drafted second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter’s athletic skills have been widely praised, but a recent encounter on a commercial flight has shown that his character off the field is just as impressive as his performance on it.
Why Travis Hunter’s actions on a flight have fans cracking up and going wild online
Travis Hunter, the dynamic two-way player out of the University of Colorado, is currently turning heads at the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp. But it was a moment in mid-air, far from the roar of stadium crowds, that made just as big an impact. A woman named Sandy Hawkins Combs shared a heartfelt story on Facebook after sitting next to Hunter during a flight from Denver—a post that has since gone viral for all the right reasons.
“I had the most wonderful flight home from Denver,” she began. “I met the nicest young man who sat next to me. He offered to put my bag in the overhead compartment and helped me with my tray. He was always polite, saying ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no ma’am.’ Anyone would be proud to have him as a son or grandson—so polite.”
At first, Combs had no idea she was sitting beside an NFL star. But as other passengers walked by offering congratulations and snapping photos, her curiosity grew. “I turned and asked him, ‘Who am I sitting next to?’ I looked at his Jaguar pants, smiled, and asked, ‘Are you an athlete?’ He smiled and said, ‘I’m Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags.’ I already told my sons I want his jersey.”
That brief exchange says a lot about Hunter—not just his humility, but his grounded nature despite being on the cusp of NFL stardom. “He’s so humble and down-to-earth—I would have never guessed he was a professional athlete,” she added. “JACKSONVILLE JAGS, you did good! I will be buying tickets. United Airlines, thank you for my seat assignment!”
This kind of organic, fan-first connection is rare in a time when athletes often seem distant behind brands and sponsorships. For Hunter, who also carried an impressive GPA of 3.7 or 3.9 during his college years, the moment revealed a level of maturity and kindness that mirrors his discipline on the gridiron.
While the Jaguars are expecting big things from him on the field, Hunter’s ability to leave such a lasting impression off the field proves he’s more than just a top pick—he’s a role model. And now, thanks to a simple act of kindness on a routine flight, the rookie cornerback has gained more than a new fan in Combs—he’s captured the admiration of football fans everywhere.
As the NFL season approaches, it’s safe to say that Travis Hunter won’t just be one of the easiest players to cheer for—he might just be one of the most beloved.

Heartfelt Response From Arkansas Baseball Goes Viral After 'Cursed' Program's 9th Inning Collapse

The Arkansas baseball team fell in heartbreaking fashion to SEC rival LSU at the College World Series on Wednesday. The walk-off loss officially ended their season.
It was a game the Razorbacks believe they should’ve won after taking a two-run lead into the ninth inning. A series of unfortunate events led to a late-game collapse.
Arkansas had already lost once to LSU in its opener in Omaha. They needed to beat the Tigers twice in order to keep national championship hopes alive.
They appeared on their way to forcing a decisive winner-take-all rematch on Thursday. Then, disaster.
LSU got two of its first three hitters on base in the bottom of the ninth frame while trailing 5-3. From there, the game seemingly should’ve ended on multiple occasions, but the ball just didn’t bounce the Razorbacks’ way.
First, Tigers infielder Steven Milam looked to have rolled a game-ending groundball with one out. Rather than turn a 6-4-3 double play, Arkansas shortstop Wehiwa Aloy went to third base to get the lead runner.
Another view of the tailor-made double play ball to shortstop that would’ve ended the game and won it for Arkansas.
Wehiwa Aloy fires to 3rd to get the lead runner instead, extending the game where LSU would then walk it off and end the Razorbacks season…absolutely brutal… pic.twitter.com/aG5u6Cu1uW

The next hitter then drilled a line drive to leftfield that was misplayed by Charles Davalan. It would’ve been the third out. Instead, two runs scored.
OH NOOOOOOO. ARKANSAS IS CURSED

After LSU tied the game at 5-5, Jared Jones ended it with a soft liner that grazed off the glove of second baseman Cam Kozeal. Arkansas had three chances to get the third out. Instead, the Tigers won, 6-5.

Arkansas baseball players consoled a teammate after the fact.
No doubt, the loss was heartbreaking. It was one Arkansas probably wins more times than not given the circumstances in the ninth inning. In this instance, it just wasn’t meant to be.
Davalan took the loss hard after misplaying the ball in leftfield. He apologized to teammates and coaches in tears. Rather than blame their sophomore leader, the Razorbacks rallied around him.

The heartfelt moment went viral on social media. It was a painful end to the season, but the Hogs wanted Davalan to know that the loss didn’t fall on him.
Head coach Dave Van Horn reiterated that point in his postgame press conference. He noted that the Razorbacks wouldn’t have gotten to Omaha had it not been for the outfielder.
“We wouldn’t have gotten here (to Omaha) without Charles Davalan. Not even close. You could knock off 10 SEC wins if we didn’t have him.
“That kid (Charles Davalan) doesn’t have to be sorry for anything. Anything. He was our glue. He held everything together.”
-Dave Van Horn
Is Arkansas cursed?
The Hogs are now tied with Clemson and North Carolina in having the second-most College World Series appearances without a national championship.
Arkansas has been to Omaha 12 times. The program is now 0-for-12 in its title pursuit. Some of those losses have come painstaking fashion. Wednesday’s defeat was gut-wrenching, but it still ranks No. 2 on the list of recent Razorback collapses.
In 2018, the program made the national championship series to face Oregon State. Arkansas led 3-2 in the ninth inning with two outs after having already won Game 1. A Beavers batter popped up in foul territory on a play that should’ve ended the game and allowed the Razorbacks to dogpile.
Three defenders converged on the ball. None made the catch. Oregon State used its extra life to take the lead and win Game 2 before going on to take a decisive Game 3 for the national title.
Arkansas baseball couldn’t get the monkey off its back in ’18. It failed to do so again in heartbreaking fashion seven years later.

Arkansas fell to LSU, 6-5, in the Men’s College World Series on Wednesday evening. The Razorbacks had multiple chances to put the game away late, but they could not. LSU is off to the national championship series.
The Razorbacks were leading the Tigers, 5-3, in the bottom of the ninth inning. Arkansas had what appeared to be a double play ball, which would’ve ended the game. However, the shortstop went with the force out at third base, extending the game.
LSU’s next batter hit a line drive into left field, that bounced off of the Arkansas outfielder. Two runs scored, tying the game at 5-5.
Later in the inning, LSU walked off Arkansas, with a single up the middle that scored the runner from second base.

women's cricket ke liye eligible hoon'
NEW DELHI: Anaya Bangar, child of former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar, has called upon the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to support transgender cricketers.

NEW DELHI: Anaya Bangar, child of former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar, has called upon the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to support transgender cricketers.
Currently, transgender cricketers are not allowed to participate in women’s cricket. This ban was implemented during the ICC board meeting following the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Anaya shared an eight-page scientific report detailing her transition journey as a transgender athlete. Bangar plans on submitting these findings to the ICC and BCCI.
Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel.
“For the first time, I’m sharing the scientific report that documents my journey as a trans woman athlete. Over the past year, I’ve undergone structured physiological assessments after starting hormone therapy. This report captures the real, measurable impact of my transition not opinions, not assumptions, but data.”
“I’m submitting this to the BCCI and ICC, with full transparency and hope. My only intention is to start a conversation based on facts not fear. To build space, not divide it. Whether you agree or not, thank you for witnessing.”
Anaya, who was born male, later transitioned to female. Bangar recently shared test reports through an Instagram video. The 23-year-old collaborated with Manchester Metropolitan University after completing one year of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
The tests collected data on her muscle power, endurance, glucose, and oxygen levels, comparing them with cisgender female athletes. The results indicated these parameters fell within cisgender female athlete norms.
“Science kehta hai main women’s cricket ke liye eligible hoon. Ab sawaal yeh hai kya duniya tayyar hai sach sunne ke liye? (Science says that I am eligible for women’s cricket. Now the question is whether the world is ready to hear the truth or not?)”
Anaya’s father, Sanjay Bangar, played 12 Tests and 15 ODIs for Team India. He later served as the national team’s batting coach from 2014 to 2019.

Ignored Indian Pacer's Cryptic 'Karma Is Unforgivable' Post Goes Viral After Harshit Rana …

After India added Harshit Rana to their squad for the ongoing tour of England as the 19th member of the squad, a member of the India-A squad, which was in England for a shadow tour, took to Instagram and posted a cryptic story that caught the eyes of cricket fans on social media.
Mukesh Kumar, who has played three Test matches for India and debuted before Rana, posted a strongly worded statement on Instagram. Mukesh and Harshit both played the first unofficial Test match between India A and England Lions and it was the format that had the better performance.
The game ended in a draw as the English team batted just once, which meant the Indian bowling unit got just once to bowl at Canterbury. In the Lions’ innings, Mukesh bowled 25 overs and gave away 92 runs while taking three wickets. All three wickets were of batters in the top six, which included centurion Max Holden. Meanwhile, Harshit bowled 27 overs and gave away 99 runs while taking just one wicket, which was the dismissal of number 10 batter Josh Hull.

Both players were rested for the second match as Khaleel Ahmed and Tushar Deshpande got a chance. The scoreboard of the intra-squad between India-A and India are not known hence the performance of both players in that game is unclear.
‘Karma Bides its time. You will always have to watch out. Karma is unforgiving and always get payback,” wrote Mukesh on Instagram.
Mukesh made his debut in all three formats for India in July-August 2023 during the tour of Australia. However, he has not played for India in any format since July last year, when he featured for the Men in Blue in a T20I series against Zimbabwe. His last outing in Test cricket was in November 2023.

Intrestingly, Mukesh has not played for India since Gautam Gambhir took over as head coach during the tour of Sri Lanka last year in July.
As far as Harshit is concerned, he made his Test debut for India in November last year against Australia during the Indian team’s famous victory in Perth. Later, he debuted in T20I and ODI cricket during a home series against England. Harshit was part of India’s 2025 Champions Trophy-winning squad and played two games.
Harshit created the rare record of being the only Indian in history to take 3 or more wickets in an innings on debut in all three formats in international cricket.

"Amazing athletic genes"
The world of sports adores a happy tale, and Reddit just discovered its new favorite.

The world of sports adores a happy tale, and Reddit just discovered its new favorite. In a viral forum that instantly garnered buzz throughout hockey fandom, fans found an amazing coincidence: Seth Jones, just off a Stanley Cup victory with the Florida Panthers, is Popeye Jones’ son, the former NBA player and assistant coach who won an NBA championship with the Denver Nuggets in 2023.
Reddit hails unusual father-son moment as Seth Jones becomes second Jones to win championship
The discussion started when users started posting clips of Seth Jones hoisting the Stanley Cup following the Florida Panthers’ six-game win over the Edmonton Oilers. That alone was something to celebrate. But another fact caught fans’ attention, not just from the NHL community but also from the NBA world—Seth Jones’ father, Popeye Jones, played 11 seasons in the NBA as a journeyman forward.
Redditors were left amazed. “I had no idea Popeye Jones was his dad! Amazing stuff! And amazing athletic genes!” one of them wrote. “The genes are strong,” another wrote. The thread went viral not only due to the sensationalism, but due to the fact that such cross-sport, father-son championship pair is very rare, if not unheard of, in high-level North American sports.
“Only person on Florida I’m happy for because of that,” one commenter wrote.
It seems Seth and his brother Caleb learned to skate in Colorado as Popeye played for the Nuggets during the late ’90s. The thread says Colorado Avalanche captain Joe Sakic told Popeye to get his son’s skates before sticks. That tip made all the difference.
Seth Jones, at this point in his career, a mid-career NHL defenseman, is one of the league’s most consistent blueliners. His Stanley Cup victory with the Florida Panthers puts a capstone on a truly generational story of success, and Reddit was on hand to connect the dots in real time.

A moment Reddit won’t forget
In an age where sports fandom happens one post at a time, Reddit brought attention to a multi-generational victory that many overlooked. Amid all the arguments over numbers and legacies, sometimes it’s the off-the-beaten-path family ties that unite fans. From courtside to rinkside, the Jones family now occupies a special and memorable space in sports history.
