Colts players share stories behind cleats for 2025…

Travis, a Princeton graduate, has always been called to fight for education and education equity. As a college football player, Travis was involved in a plethora of different organizations and community efforts, including interning on Capitol Hill in the summer of 2022, working for the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice and co-founding the Just Action Coalition. When Travis was drafted by the Colts in the fourth-round of the 2025 NFL Draft, he knew he wanted to continue his community efforts in Indianapolis. Through the help of the Colts organization, Travis settled on representing The Mind Trust — a local organization that ensures children in Indianapolis have access to good education no matter where they live — for his first My Cause, My Cleats game.

“Education really changed my life and really exposed me to the world,” he said. “I’m a huge believer in terms of, one, getting communities that haven’t been exposed to such opportunities exposed to them primarily through education…I think my biggest thing is your zip code doesn’t have to define you, and how can we begin to expose them, whether it’s with one-on-one mentorship or having Colts players who’ve done great outside of football come into that world.”
