Travis Hunter high school highlights: 2025 NFL Draft prospect emerged as two-way star before Colorado career

Travis Hunter became a college football legend at Colorado, establishing himself as one of the greatest all-around talents in the history of the sport on the way to the Heisman Trophy. He will take the next big step in his career on Thursday night when he joins the professional ranks at the 2025 NFL Draft.

But long before Hunter emerged as a human highlight reel with the Buffaloes, he was a stellar defensive back and wide receiver at Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Ga. It was difficult to overhype the five-star prospect, as he was considered the No. 1 player in his class by 247 Sports and Rivals.

Hunter stunned the college football world in 2021 when he decided to flip his commitment from Florida State to Jackson State, joining the HBCU program that was once led by former Seminoles cornerback Deion Sanders. Hunter later followed Sanders to Colorado, earning numerous accolades during his two seasons with the Buffs.

Now, Hunter will look to accomplish what previously seemed to be impossible. Can he really excel as a two-way player in the NFL?

If his high school highlights are any indication, no one should question his ability to make an impact on both sides of the ball.
