Travis Hunter

A Rising Star from Suwanee, Georgia


Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter, originally from Suwanee, Georgia, is making waves in college football and the 2025 NFL draft discussion. The versatile junior has captivated fans and analysts alike with his ability to play on both sides of the ball, excelling as both a wide receiver and cornerback. Hunter’s unique skill set makes him one of the most highly anticipated NFL prospects for next year’s draft.

Historic Two-Way Play Earns Hunter Big 12 Recognition


Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing 185 pounds, Hunter delivered an electrifying performance against the Cincinnati Bearcats in Week 9. His stats tell the story: nine catches for 153 yards and two touchdowns on offense, plus two tackles and four pass breakups on defense. This display earned him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors, making him the first athlete in conference history to be awarded for both offense and defense—an achievement he also earned on defense in Week 3 against Colorado State.

Hunter Leads Big 12 in Key Stats, Enters Heisman Conversation


Hunter’s outstanding season has solidified his position as a leader in the Big 12, where he currently tops the charts with 60 receptions and eight touchdowns through nine weeks. With these numbers, he has entered the Heisman Trophy conversation, underscoring his impact on the field and his reputation as a powerhouse player.

NFL Draft Projections: Jacksonville Jaguars Eye Hunter’s Unique Talent


According to Pro Football Focus, Hunter is currently projected as the No. 5 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, with the Jacksonville Jaguars showing interest. Analyst Trevor Sikkema describes Hunter as an “anomaly,” capable of contributing both offensively and defensively, which would make him an invaluable asset for the Jaguars. Sikkema notes, “The Jaguars’ needs are less pressing with rookies like Brian Thomas Jr. and Jarrian Jones emerging, but Travis Hunter’s rare talent is too special to pass up.”

If Jacksonville secures Hunter, he could join forces with Pro Bowl quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who recently signed a major contract extension, adding both defensive strength and offensive versatility to the Jaguars’ lineup.

Looking Ahead: Colorado’s Push for Big 12 Championship


As the draft approaches, Hunter remains focused on his goals with No. 23 Colorado (6-2, 4-1 Big 12). Colorado is vying for the Big 12 championship, with a pivotal matchup against Texas Tech in Week 11. Hunter’s continued success not only boosts Colorado’s prospects but also brings pride to his hometown of Suwanee, Georgia.


With his dual abilities and relentless drive, Travis Hunter is on a path to redefine what it means to be a two-way player in football. Suwanee’s own is inspiring fans and solidifying his legacy as he prepares to take the next step toward the NFL.
