The 2025 NFL Draft has officially arrived.
As the top college prospects await to hear their names called by commissioner Roger Goodell in Green Bay on Thursday when the first round gets underway, get to know the significant others of the league’s future stars.
Leanna Lenee, fiancée of Colorado wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter’s fiancée, Leanna Lenee, has been by his side long before he became a household name at Colorado.
The cornerback-wide receiver hybrid, who won the 2024 Heisman Trophy, and Lenee revealed their engagement in February 2024 after going public with their relationship in 2022.
Hunter and Lenee, who graduated from Kennesaw State University in Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in 2022, met as teenagers.
In a since-deleted TikTok, Lenee said she met Hunter when she was 19.
In a 2022 video on their joint YouTube channel, Hunter explained that he messaged Lenee on Instagram, but she wanted to be friends first. Things turned romantic after they attended a friend’s birthday party together.
The couple’s anniversary is Feb. 23, according to a previous Instagram post.
After Hunter’s career at Colorado ended, the couple relocated to a guest home on the property of Athlete Performance Ranch in Fort Worth, Texas, formerly a cattle ranch that was turned into a training ground for professional athletes, according to Sports Illustrated.
In 2024, Lenee deleted her social media after facing public scrutiny over their relationship.

Ohio State quarterback Will Howard and his girlfriend, Skyler Skoglund, are a cute couple.
The pair captured the public’s attention during the Buckeyes’ 2025 national championship run.
They were seen kissing after Ohio State’s victory over unbeaten Oregon in the 111th Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2025, and again after the Buckeyes’ 34-23 victory over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff national championship on Jan. 20.
Skoglund graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology in May 2023, according to LinkedIn, which states she is looking for opportunities in the healthcare industry. She was in the Alpha Phi sorority.

Jordan Shough, wife of Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough
Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough isn’t the only athlete in the family.
Wife Jordan Shough played soccer at the University of Oregon, where she graduated in 2022. That same year, Shough — who began his collegiate career at Oregon in 2018 — popped the question to his then-girlfriend.
“FOR LIFE,” exclaimed Shough, who transferred to Texas Tech in 2021 and Louisville in 2024. “I love you so much. I can’t wait to marry you.
The couple tied the knot in La Jolla, Calif., last April.

A member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, Bagsby is a staple on game days and has supported the Crimson Tide in custom Booker-themed looks.

“October 25,” she posted on Instagram. “My person forever and ever and ever.”
Starks posted his own engagement tribute, writing at the time, “Beyond blessed to be on this journey with you forever and always.”
