Colorado Buffaloes, two-way player Travis Hunter, showed off his football versatility by training as a kicker. Hunter is already in rarified air as he is both a shutdown cornerback and a solid wide receiver, but he can now add kicker to his resume.
Hunter, who has a $2.7 million NIL valuation according to On3, decided to end his training session by kicking field goals. Not only was Hunter kicking field goals but was also making them dead-center.
"Next year that's the goal, man," Hunter said on CU's practice field after hitting the kick.
Although it was off the tee, and not in-game action, it was impressive that Hunter made those field goal kicks, which shows how good of an athlete he is.
Whether Hunter will get a chance to kick a field goal for the Colorado Buffaloes in 2024 is to be seen.

Travis Hunter will be back for his second season at Colorado after he spent one year at Jackson State.
Hunter has been a star player in college football and he was one of three players to be on the cover of EA Sports College Football 25, which comes out next month.
"It's just a blessing to be able to be on the cover," Hunter told ESPN. "We grew up watching this and looking at the covers, and now we're on it. When I was young, I waited till 12 o'clock to get every NCAA. It was my favorite game by far. I still play the old NCAA 14 to this day."
Last season, Hunter played in nine games recording 57 receptions for 721 yards and five touchdowns. On defense, he added three interceptions and five pass defense.
Hunter enters the 2024 college football season as one of the front runners to be drafted first overall in the 2025 NFL draft. He's currently +2000 to be drafted first overall which is the sixth-best odds, according to DraftKings.
Hunter will be back playing both cornerback and wide receiver in 2024 for the Buffaloes.
Colorado will open their 2024 college football season at home on Aug. 29 against North Dakota State. The Buffaloes will be playing in the Big 12 and have notable games against Nebraska, Kansas State, Arizona, Utah, Texas Tech, and Kansas.
