“He is one of, if not the, best cornerbacks in college football and he’s a 1,000-yard receiver, it’s incredible.”Hunter’s unique ability to create an impact on any given snap is what has separated him from the rest of college football during the season. “He’s the best player in college football,” Sanders said after the Buffaloes’ 52-0 win over Oklahoma State. Nobody could deal with him on either side of the ball,” Sanders added. I don’t know where I would have been at if I went to Florida State,” Hunter said on The Pivot. “It would be remarkable, but he’s done it for 12 games a year in college and college football has limits on how much guys can practice – 20-hour-a-week limits.

In his freshman season, Hunter finished with four receiving touchdowns, 20 total tackles and two interceptions in eight games. Hunter followed Sanders to Colorado, where the dynamic playmaker solidified himself as one of the top college football players in the nation.

Thank you.”Hunter joins the late Rashaan Salaam, who won the Heisman in 1994 with a 2,000-yard rushing season, as CU’s only Heisman winners. He’s the catalyst, he makes everything go and enables Travis to be Travis, but Travis Hunter is doing something we’ve never seen before.”Jeanty only played one position, but few in college football history have ever played it better. Again, Hunter was limited to nine games in 2023, this time after taking a late hit against Colorado State that left him with a lacerated liver. The injuries never deterred Sanders from playing Hunter as much as possible, and this season there was no denying the results. Led by Hunter and Shedeur, Colorado contended for the Big 12 title until the final weekend of the regular season.
