Travis Hunter is included on ESPN’s way too early 2024 All-America Team.
Many were astonished by Travis Hunter’s unparalleled athleticism during his Colorado debut season.
Regardless of his role as a lockdown corner or his incredible catches at wide receiver, the two-way sensation established himself as one of the top players in college football. The former five-star prospect went on to become CU’s 31st consensus All-American.
Despite missing the Buffs’ opening three Pac-12 games due to injury, Hunter managed to finish the season with 721 receiving yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions.
The way too early 2024 college football All-America squad was revealed by ESPN on Tuesday, and Hunter was selected to the first team as a cornerback and the second team as an all-purpose player. Chris Low of ESPN wrote the following about Colorado’s superstar:
Colorado coach Deion Sanders called Hunter a “generational player” last year, and Sanders should know. A two-way player for the Buffaloes, Hunter played more snaps from scrimmage (566 on defense and 436 on offense) than anybody in college football. Despite missing three games with an injury, Hunter had three interceptions and has the skills to lock down any receiver in the country.
Additional noteworthy athletes that made ESPN’s list are Brant Kuithe of Utah, Tetairoa McMillan of Arizona, and Tory Horton of Colorado State, who plays wide receiver on the second team and tight end on the first team.
