Travis Hunter fulfilled his promise to Shedeur Sanders

While on the sidelines against Baylor, Travis Hunter promised Shedeur Sanders that he would make a heroic defensive stop before the game ended. The two-way star fulfilled his promise when it mattered the most against the Bears.

In a pivotal moment of the game, Hunter delivered a crucial, game-saving play by forcing a fumble from Baylor running back Dominic Richardson. The tackle sent the ball bouncing into the end zone, resulting in a touchback that ultimately secured Colorado’s hard-fought victory.

"Shedeur told me to go out there and get the ball once we scored," Hunter said after the game.
"So I told him, "I got you." I kept my word. I knew I had the tackle because you could see me putting my mouthpiece late on the play. I was already ready. I knew they were coming at me. I know they think I couldn't tackle. So, I had to show them."

Deion Sanders explains why Travis Hunter keeps playing two way

Hunter has been utilized on both sides of the ball by Colorado coach Deion Sanders at Jackson State and Colorado, and the player has excelled in it. With a lot of noise about the player being overused, Coach Prime explained why Hunter cannot be left on the sidelines.

"The thing about Travis is, if you put him on, if he plays cornerback, and he's being dominant out there, and you sit up there and you can't move the ball at the next level, you're gonna say 'Well, my best receiver's on the sidelines, somebody come on' ... Travis is a football player, and you can't have a football player on the sidelines," Sanders said.

Hunter told Forbes that he wants to be the first modern two-way star in the NFL. However, there are significant doubts about his chances of success in playing both sides of the ball in the league despite his versatility in college football.
