Travis Hunter may be receiving his first trophy of the season in the form of his coach’s 1988 Jim Thorpe Award
Travis Hunter may be receiving his first trophy of the season — his coach's 1988 Jim Thorpe Award. Deion Sanders doesn't want his anymore. Not after Colorado's two-way standout and Heisman hopeful was overlooked as a finalist for the award given to the nation's top defensive back. Sanders, who earned the award with Florida State, was outraged Tuesday.
He's in the running for the Maxwell , the Biletnikoff , Bednarik , Paul Hornung and Walter Camp awards. Then there's, of course, the Heisman, where he's the favorite, as he rarely leaves the field. He's a frequent target of Shedeur Sanders, catching 82 passes for 1,036 yards and 11 TDs. Shedeur Sanders avoided injury on a scary hit by Kansas defensive end Dean Miller that took out both of the quarterback's legs after throwing a pass in last Saturday's 37-21 loss.
