Despite riding on the same boat, Shedeur Sanders has always supported his mate Travis Hunter. So when week 13 of the Hesiman prediction arrived, Shedeur was the happiest watching Hunter roll on top of everyone. But what about himself? where is Shedeur Sanders sitting on the latest Heisman poles and how is the football world reacting to it? Well, one of the Buff’s insiders is just mad at the officials for ranking him at the bottom.
That insider is Colorado Buffs’ athletic director Rick George, who just can’t unsee the kind of rankings Sanders got. he took it to his X handle and shared his thoughts on it. “Blows my mind that Shenrer is not top 3, let alone top 5. SMH,” George said, who believes Shedeur Sanders is not getting what he deserves.

So as per the latest reports, Travis Hunter holds the highest odds, followed by Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward, Dillon Gabriel, Kurtis Rourke, Tyler Warren, Jaxson Dart, Shedeur Sanders, Diego Pavia, and Jalen Milroe in the tenth position. As George has written, Shedeur is not in the top three and not even in the top five. Reading his name in the eighth position just breaks his heart.
Although rationally, it’s fine for the Buffs as one of their players is already at the top. But Colorado’s athletic director just expressed his raw emotion to catch the quarterback getting the realistic rank that he deserves. Adding fuel to the fire, Deion Sanders Jr. shared Rick George’s post on his X account and it’s getting insane views. Around 93,000 people have seen it and 1.4k of them have liked the post. On top of that, Schedeur Sanders and his dad, Deion Sanders, have also expressed their excitement about Travis Hunter’s Heisman odds.

Shedeur Sanders and Deion Sanders reacted to Travis Hunter’s Heisman odds
Colorado’s star boy, Travis Hunter, is that popular guy everyone likes. Currently, he’s the Heisman favorite, leaving his competitors, Ashton Jeanty and Dillon Gabriel, behind. Although Hunter has been constantly making waves after midseason, his performance in last weekend’s game against Utah is getting widely praised by the experts.
That game marked his third game this season with an interception and an offensive touchdown. He also grabbed one of the best moments of his career during the second quarter of the game against Utah. He went for a 28-yard catch on fourth-and-8. Hunter amazed everyone with his game and head coach Deion Sanders as well as his son, Shedeur Sanders both shared their excitement.

“I’m not going to give a message to Heisman voters who are undecided. if they can’t see, they can’t see. Travis is who he is. it’s supposed to go to the best college football player. That’s been a wrap since week 2, so we aren’t petitioning for anybody,” Deion Sanders said. Shedeur Sanders also shares the same emotion for his teammate.
“We don’t go in a game being like, Oh, we got to get Travis the Heisman. Some teams do that for their players; I’m just playing. we don’t go in a game like that. it’s all-natural when it happens,” Shedeur said, hyping up Hunter’s Heisman odds. He highlighted the authenticity of the games Travis Hunter plays. There isn’t any kind of foul play happening or they are trying to push him ahead. Hunter is getting the attention because of his performance.
