While Hunter may be the country's best college football player after winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy, it appears that he's just as talented on the hardwood.

Based on the highlight reel, Hunter has handles for days. With the way he dribbles the ball alone, it's obvious that the Colorado Buffaloes star knows how to play basketball. His athleticism was also off the charts as he threw self-alley-oops off the glass. Hunter even executed crossover hesitation moves while slicing the defense and finishing with a Kyrie Irving-esque reverse layup.
