Is Travis Hunter the most exciting two-way player we've seen in college football in decades?

Colorado Buffaloes’ Travis Hunter has been one of the most sensational players among the Big 12 to watch out for in the ongoing season of college football. The two-way star had a terrific start to the year, posting 242 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 17 receptions.

While a chunk of fans are looking to see him produce many more game-changing TDs and catch passes moving forward, the 21-year-old is making waves in another realm simultaneously.

$6 million worth Hunter wore many hats in his career. Besides being an extraordinary WB and CB on the field, the prodigy successfully translated his magnetic star power and sky-high fame into some lucrative business deals with top-notch brands like Celsius, EA Sports, etc. His latest IG update suggested there is one more on the line. JLab Playmakers recently made a collaboration with the sports mogul to promote their brand-new model of headset.

We need to see if the new earbuds can really level up his sports down the line. However, the Buffaloes were beaten down last weekend in an emphatic 28-10 loss to Nebraska. But Hunter has his goodwill intact.

Travis Hunter is shaping up to be an exotic NFL star

What’s your perspective on:

Is Travis Hunter the most exciting two-way player we've seen in college football in decades?

Have an interesting take?

Nowadays, football is all about concentrating on one particular area. Offensive and defensive players grind themselves in the training camp to hone their respective skills and contribute to the team accordingly. So, it’s safe to say that the days of “60-minute men” (players who get their legs on both offense and defense) have long gone. Yet, Travis Hunter is a one-man anomaly, redefining what it means to be a wholesome all-rounder. His unparalleled ability to excel both as a wide receiver and a cornerback has already been shaping the notion of him being the NFL’s next great two-way player.

Hunter’s expedition to become a two-way player has been pretty organic. He started to take up both sides of the field when he was just six. The talent that came out of him naturally spread wings through years of hard work and a persistent mindset and made him a true trailblazer in modern football. Seeing the high-flying prospect, NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper keeps him on the top of the upcoming draft list. The veteran could see how unstoppable Hunter is with the Buffaloes’ jersey.

“As a corner, he’s outstanding. As a receiver, 10 catches. He’s gonna have a tonne more than that as the year progresses.” Kiper explained, rightfully justifying his decision.

Now, it’s only a matter of time before the 6 ft 1 monster thrives more both athletically and business-wise, taking the momentum long term.
