Colorado Buffaloes star wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter is set to make his final appearance for the program in the Alamo Bowl against the BYU Cougars. This game marks Colorado’s first bowl appearance since 2020, and a win would secure their first bowl victory since 2004. For Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the game presents one last chance to leave a lasting impact on the program before both declare for the 2025 NFL Draft. Hunter, a once-in-a-generation talent, has already achieved remarkable success during his junior season, including winning the prestigious Heisman Trophy. On Thursday, his accolades continued as Colorado announced he was named a unanimous First-Team All-American and earned the Sporting News Player of the Year award. Hunter’s historic season cements his place as one of the most unique and impactful players in college football history.
Over the past two seasons, Hunter has been a key figure in transforming the Colorado program, which had just one win before his arrival alongside head coach Deion Sanders and quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Excelling at both wide receiver and cornerback, Hunter set the school record for single-season receiving touchdowns. The Buffaloes finished the season 9-3, ranked in the Top 25, and made a strong debut in the Big 12. As Hunter now prepares for the NFL Draft, he leaves as one of the most highly coveted prospects, projected to be selected within the top five picks.
