Colorado star and Heisman Trophy favorite Travis Hunter says he will enter the NFL draft

Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter said Thursday he plans to declare for the 2025 NFL draft.

Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter said Thursday he plans to declare for the 2025 NFL draft.

“That’s definitely for sure,” Hunter, 21, told reporters when he was asked whether he intended to declare.

Hunter, a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, plays both cornerback and receiver for the Buffaloes. Many project him to be selected first overall in April.

Asked about playing both offense and defense as a professional, Hunter acknowledged it is rare, saying, “It’s never been done.”

He added: “I understand that it will be a high risk. [Teams] don’t want their top pick to go down too early, and I know they’re going to want me to be in a couple packages. But I believe I can do it. Nobody has stopped me from doing it thus far.”
