Travis Hunter, the University of Colorado’s exceptional two-way player, has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, opting to participate in the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine as a defensive back.
This decision follows a historic 2024 season in which Hunter became the first player to earn multiple All-America honors from the Associated Press, securing first-team recognition at both all-purpose and cornerback positions, and second-team honors as a wide receiver.
Under the guidance of head coach Deion Sanders, Hunter’s versatility was on full display throughout the season. Offensively, he amassed 1,152 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, while defensively, he recorded four interceptions, contributing significantly to the Buffaloes’ 9-4 record.
Hunter’s remarkable performance culminated in him being awarded the prestigious Heisman Trophy, recognizing him as the nation’s most outstanding college football player.
As the NFL Draft approaches, analysts are closely evaluating Hunter’s potential impact at the professional level. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, in his recent mock draft, suggests that the New York Giants might consider selecting Hunter with the No. 3 overall pick, highlighting his dynamic abilities on both offense and defense.
The upcoming NFL Scouting Combine will be a pivotal moment for Hunter to showcase his skills exclusively as a defensive back, providing teams with deeper insights into his capabilities in the secondary. His unique blend of athleticism and versatility continues to generate significant interest and discussion as the draft approaches.
