How has Travis Hunter performed in his collegiate career?

Travis Hunter joined the Jackson State Tigers as a five-star prospect and the top-ranked overall recruit in the 2022 recruiting class. He became the first five-star prospect to join an HBCU or FBS program, with many questioning the decision.

Hunter caught 18 passes for 190 yards and four touchdowns as a true freshman. He also recorded 20 tackles, two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, one fumble recovery and ten passes defended.

Following the season, he joined the Colorado Buffaloes via the transfer portal, joining former Tigers coach Deion Sanders.

While he has long odds to win the Heisman Trophy, he will look to become the second player in Buffalo's history to do so. Hunter will have another opportunity to do so next season, as he is not draft-eligible until the 2025 NFL Draft.
