Travis Hunter’s Alamo Bowl status and his brother’s rising football journey

Travis Hunter, the Colorado Buffaloes’ two-way star and Heisman Trophy winner, has fans eagerly awaiting his appearance in the Alamo Bowl. He will be playing against No. 17 BYU on Saturday. With the game marking Colorado’s final outing of the season, speculation about Hunter’s availability has been swirling.

Addressing the rumors, head coach Deion Sanders was optimistic, stating:

“I don’t know about the bull junk. I think everything is great. He has a Heisman Trophy at the crib. He’s projected to be the first or second pick, no later than the third.”

Hunter’s impact on the field this season has undeniably made his potential participation a key factor for Colorado. While fans hold their breath, the spotlight shifts to his younger brother, Trayvis Hunter. At just 15 years old, Trayvis is already carving out his path as a football sensation. As a wide receiver for Effingham County High School, he is catching attention through impressive performances and appearances in Adidas videos.

Much like his older brother, Trayvis exudes confidence and skill. With Travis likely mentoring him, the younger Hunter is gearing up for college football. Whether he follows Travis to Colorado remains to be seen, but his future looks promising.
