The competition for excellence between Buffs’ two remarkable players, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, has been the hot topic since the start of the season. Both of them have been nothing short of exceptional this season, with their gameplay and jaw-dropping execution. However, both are currently finding themselves in a peculiar comparison in the Heisman race and, undoubtedly, both deserve to hold the title. Even Buffs’ recent 4-star commit thinks the same.
Today, five-star recruit Christian Hudson took to his official Instagram account to share a story of Buffs star quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter hyping both of them over their recent post. Hudson gave a shout-out to them by sharing Shedeur’s post and Hunter’s video into his story, appreciating both of their standings in the season. However, what took everyone’s attention was CUBuffs’ official account comment on Travis Hunter’s post saying, “#HE12MAN.” It looks like the team also believes that Hunter is going to be the ultimate Heisman winner.

Not only is Deion Sanders turning heads with the Colorado Buffs on the field, but he’s also gaining the confidence of top high school recruits. One among them is Daytona Beach Mainland’s four-star defensive lineman Christian Hudson, who recently flipped his commitment from the UCF Knights to the Colorado Buffs. However, getting him in was not a piece of cake. Christian had offers from four prestigious teams of the tournament, which include West Virginia, Iowa State, Penn State, and Indiana. But among all of them, Hudson chose the Coach Prime program.
Well, why wouldn’t he? The Colorado Buffs’ defense is raging fumes in the ongoing season. The team is currently leading the Big 12 with 29 sacks, which is the prime example of their impressive defensive line. Even Cristian Hudson was intrigued by the kind of program Deion Sanders is building, as he said, “They are definitely building something special up there, and I want to be a part of that.” Moreover, Coach Prime’s aura is immeasurable; if you visit Boulder once, it will always make a long-lasting impact on you for life. Now that the Buffs have another powerful addition to their team, let’s see how well Hudson complements them.
