Travis Hunter, a receiver and cornerback for the Colorado Buffaloes, has shown a rare ability to excel on both sides of the ball in college.
Travis Hunter has proven he can excel at both wide receiver and cornerback. The Colorado Buffaloes star has racked up 1,498 career receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. He also has seven interceptions at the collegiate level. Hunter is confident his overall body of work proves he should have the edge in this season's Heisman voting. During a recent sitdown on former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin's 'Outta Pocket with RGIII' podcast, the Heisman hopeful laid out his case.
know I can win it, but I don’t know who’s there,' Hunter said. 'I mean, y’all see Ashton Jeanty, but it’s not like we haven’t seen a running back that’s good. We haven’t seen a player that plays both ways, and I’m going to keep saying that.' Hunter was referring to Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, who has rushed for 1,248 in the first six weeks of the season.
But Hunter argued that since he plays on both sides of the ball, it is much more challenging for him to have dominant stats in one particular category. Hunter went on to describe his impact on offense and defense. ' has, I think, 95 carries for 1,000 yards,' Hunter added. 'If I had 95 catches, how much yards you think I’d have? If I had 95 targets on defense, what you think I’d have?.
While all signs pointed to Hunter taking his talents to Florida, he chose Jackson State on signing day for the opportunity to play for NFL legend Deion Sanders. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
