In the world of sports, Travis Hunter made headlines in 2023 when he won the Paul Hornung Award. A star player for the University of Colorado, Hunter is known for his electrifying performances on both sides of the ball. He has recently been named as the top player ahead of the 2024 season by CBS Sports analyst Blake Brockermeyer, and is seen as a generational talent by many.
Brockermeyer praised Hunter’s versatility as a two-way player, noting that if Hunter played fewer snaps on offense, he could be even more effective on defense. Despite missing a few games due to an injury sustained from a cheap shot, Hunter still managed an impressive season with over 1,000 snaps. His performance has solidified his place as the latest consensus All-American in CU history.
Hunter excels on both sides of the ball, with 57 receptions for 721 yards and five touchdowns on offense, along with 31 tackles, three interceptions, and five passes defended on defense. Many have speculated about his potential to continue playing both ways consistently in the NFL, considering his unique skill set and passion for the game.
As a highly anticipated prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, where Hunter will land remains to be seen. However one thing is clear – teams will fully utilize his talents if they are lucky enough to have him on their roster.
