As the Heisman Trophy debates heat up, Coach Deion Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes has made it quite clear he believes his player, Travis Hunter, is beyond reproach. Some Heisman voters may still be perched comfortably on the fence in a contest that includes Hunter, Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty, and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel. Sanders, however, isn’t entertaining any further campaign efforts for his star athlete and made his stance unmistakably clear in a post-game press conference.
“I ain’t gonna sit up here and give no message to Heisman voters who is undecided,” Sanders boldly stated in a statement reported bySports Illustrated. He added, “If they can’t see, they can’t see.” This sentiment was echoed during another media debriefing where Sanders urged voters not to allow their hatred for me to interfere with our kids’ success.
Hunter’s on-field prowess has been turning heads all season. The Colorado Buffaloes have undergone a stark transformation this year, standing at 6-1 in the Big 12 and 8-2 overall. Hunter’s versatile role as a wide receiver and cornerback has been instrumental to this resurgence. With his commitment, he has raced to the top of the Heisman Trophy Rankings by ESPN, nudging ahead of his competition.
Despite not scoring a receiving touchdown in the Buffaloes’ latest win against the Utah Utes, Hunter finessed his way into the end zone with a rushing touchdown, while on defense, he made sure to disrupt the opposition continuously. Displaying his knack for versatility, Hunter also secured an interception and made three total tackles a testament to his all-round capabilities that make pundits quickly consider him synonymous with the Heisman Trophy, according to aKDVRreport.
With betting odds at FanDuel listing him as the favorite, the campaign train seems to chug along just fine without any added puff from Sanders. Speculation can run rampant, but the stats speak a clear language: Travis Hunter has become an undeniable force in college football. With the post-season on the horizon, all eyes will be on whether this multi-talented athlete can clinch the prestigious Heisman Trophy and, perhaps more importantly, whether the undecided voters will have seen enough to cast their votes in his favor.
