Travis Hunter has been making headlines in the sports world for his impressive performance on the field. Last year, he won the 2023 Paul Hornung Award as a two-way star for Colorado, and now CBS Sports analyst Blake Brockermeyer has named him the top player heading into the 2024 season.
Hunter is known for his electrifying playing style and his versatility as a two-way player. Despite missing some games due to a cheap shot, he still managed to notch an impressive number of snaps, showcasing his skills on both offense and defense. He has become the latest consensus All-American at Colorado, with standout stats on both sides of the ball.
Brockermeyer believes that Hunter is a generational talent and could be even more effective for Colorado’s defense if he played fewer snaps as a wide receiver. He praises Hunter’s natural talent and football instincts, noting his ability in press coverage, to undercut routes, and make plays on the ball.
As Hunter prepares for the upcoming season, there are questions surrounding how his two-way playing time will be managed and whether it could continue in the NFL. Despite these uncertainties, it is likely that Hunter will be a top defensive prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft. The focus now shifts to where he will be selected and whether the team drafting him will fully appreciate his talents and potential impact on both sides of the ball.
