A former On3 Consensus five-star recruit, Travis Hunter idolized Deion Sanders growing up. Hunter models his game and the way he carries himself both on and off the field much in the same way Prime Time did when he starred at Florida State and in the NFL. “I bring a whole lot of intensity and talent,” Hunter said. “I want to be the next Deion Sanders. And I’m going to live up to it.” He did exactly that through the early part of his college career. Playing for Coach Prime at Jackson State, Hunter was a finalist for the Jerry Rice Award, given to the top freshman player in FCS football. Hunter then followed Sanders to Colorado, where he took the college football world by storm. Despite missing three games with an injury in the 2023 season, Hunter won the Paul Hornung Award as the nation's most versatile player and was named first-team All-American – after playing a total of 1,102 snaps. "This kid is a flat-out playmaker," Sanders said ahead of the 2024 season. “He is something that we have not seen in college football. Charles Woodson was him, Champ Bailey was him. I mean, these guys were unbelievable. But that guy right there, he’s the best receiver in college football and he’s the best cornerback in college football. That’s the truth.”

Wide Receiver

Travis Hunter is the only prospect worthy of two player comparisons. The Jackson State signee is a legitimate two-way prospect at corner and receiver. At receiver, Hunter’s considerable catch radius and shifty movements within the route remind us the most of Jefferson. Hunter will get comparisons to DeVonta Smith due to their similar dimensions, but Smith had extensive verified track speed, while Hunter does not. At corner, we like the Trevon Diggs comparison for a few reasons. Diggs began his career at Alabama as a wide receiver before converting to corner. Similar to Diggs, Hunter is at his best when he can sit back, read the quarterback and use his instincts, long arms and elite ball skills to make plays on the ball. Both are best fit in defenses that allow them to take chances and play the traditional Seattle Seahawks style coverage rather than being on a pure island in man-to-man downfield coverage.
