Travis Hunter is making his ex-teammate miss him all of a sudden. And guess what? While the ex-Buffs poured in the comment section, the Colorado fans ended up missing the ex-player. That’s too much confusion, right? Let me clear it out for you guys!

It has been months since CB Cormani McClain called it quits with Deion Sanders’ army in search of a “real” program. But his heart still aches for his old friend. But more than that, it’s tough for the Buffs fans. Why so? The dream team of McClain and Hunter just turned into a fantasy too wild to come true. Apart from the strong bond between the two, does it hint at anything else? Going by the hush-hush, the Gators star was spotted rooting for his ex-team recently!   

Cormani McClain’s surprise tribute for Travis Hunter

This season has been a grand one indeed for Hunter. The Buffs’ dual threat made a diving interception midway through the third quarter. He then topped it with a la 1991 Heisman winner Desmond Howard pose in the end zone. On September 30, the two-way star celebrated the prime moments in a reel on Instagram. The comment section had some surprise waiting. Well, the ex-Buffs McClain chose to hype his old mate and commented, “RL” stands for “real life.”

Hardly did the fans expect the now Florida player to pitch in to share some kind words for Hunter. After all, Hunter and McClain shared a pretty close bond which served as the catalyst to oomph up the two-way star’s game during the Preseason All-Pac-12 Team. Looks like the 1996-mile distance between Florida and Boulder could not dampen their friendship.

Now that Hunter has gained the traction of a walking Heisman highlight, tallying 472 receiving yards, five touchdowns, and the one pick so far this season, McClain could not help but check in to charge up his chum!  And that’s where he won the fans’ hearts.

Buffs’ fans hope for the best about Cormani McClain’s return

Knowing that back in Florida, McClain is not getting treated well, it came up as a green signal for them to share their intense yearning. It nudged their old pain as one of them even made McClain the offer to hit the return button, “it’s not too late to come back bloody.” 

Even though he went in search to find a new program, he ended up getting tagged as locker-room cancer. Because of this, under the Gators star comment section, another fan too requested to flip sides, “come back & do it right they got you bro 🤞🤞🤞 either way God bless & wish you the best.” 

His departure has been one of the worst decisions both for the Buffs and himself as a fan stated, “u should’ve stayed down cuh.” In case he chose to hold his transfer, Deion could have explored the Hunter-McClain duo. Now that McClain is gone, a fan has no other option but to fantasize about how things could have been different with the CB, “man if you would’ve stayed with the buffs we could have a no fly zone secondary. good luck 7.” Good news for the fans, as their favorite McClain was in attendance in Boulder’s game against the UCF Knights.

While the Buffs fans might be dancing in excitement and already planning for a grand welcome, a CFB fan chose to rain on their parade, “He’s scouting for Florida since they play UCF next week, lol.” Well, there is a chance as the Gators face UCF next, and with McClain’s messy exit from the Buffs, some fans might feel he would never fully hype the team. His future or relationship with the Buffs is still uncertain. However, one thing’s for sure—if he does decide to return, he’ll be welcomed back with open arms.
