"Lil bro gone be tuff": CFB fans react to NFL bound Travis Hunter surprising younger brother Trayvis Hunter with Adidas deal

Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy winner, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, and Lott IMPACT Trophy winner, reportedly signed a $3.2 million multi-year deal with Adidas. This deal is even more significant because it involves his younger brother, Trayvis.

Trayvis Hunter, a standout sophomore wide receiver at Effingham County High School in Springfield, Georgia, was stunned when Travis revealed he would also be part of the deal. A heartwarming video captured the moment, with Travis enthusiastically exclaiming:

“Welcome to the Adidas family, dawg! I had to get you a little deal!”

College football fans are buzzing over the latest milestone in Travis Hunter’s remarkable career and seeing love for his little brother.

"Lil bro gone be tuff!!!," a fan quipped

"PERFECT TIMING," another quipped

Here is how other fans expressed their reactions:

"Congratulations, just another level of unselfishness from Travis...," a fan remarked

"That's amazing, what a great brother Travis is," another remarked

"i can’t wait to turn my li brudda up like dis so tuff," another commented

In a recent interview, Travis emphasized the importance of family in his decision-making.

“I ain’t signing nothing that ain’t got no family involved,” he said. “They had to add Trayvis in the deal. It’s gotta be right if Trayvis is in it.”

Hunter’s on-field dominance further solidifies his status as a generational talent. This season, he became the only FBS player to log over 150 snaps on both offense and defense, amassing 672 offensive and 688 defensive snaps.

His offensive numbers are equally impressive, leading the Power Four conferences in receiving touchdowns and ranking second in receptions and yards. Defensively, he recorded four interceptions and 11 pass breakups.

Reflecting on his partnership with Adidas, Travis expressed his excitement.

“Working with adidas is a special opportunity for me and something that I’m really excited about as I look ahead to what’s next," Hunter said. "The partners they currently have are top tier with some of the best young guys like me. I’m pumped to join the three stripes as we continue pushing the boundaries of the sport we all love.”

Trayvis Hunter lands division I offers after standout sophomore season

Trayvis Hunter received two Division I scholarship offers in one day, from Jackson State University and Tennessee State University.

“All thanks to the man above,” Trayvis wrote in a celebratory post. “Blessed to receive my 2nd offer of the day from Jackson State University!”

Trayvis’ statistics speak volumes about his talent. Measuring 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds, he recorded 36 receptions for 496 yards and six touchdowns this season.

His late-season efforts were impressive, tallying 19 catches for 331 yards and five touchdowns in just four games. His contributions was key in Effingham County’s 6-4 record and playoff appearance.

Having transferred from Collins Hill — his older brother Travis’s former high school— Trayvis Hunter is forging his path while upholding a legacy of excellence. Like his brother, who burst onto the scene as a sophomore, Trayvis is emerging as a top prospect.
