With the new NCAAF season just around the corner, teams are finalizing details to ensure a successful campaign. The Colorado Buffaloes, featuring one of this year’s top college prospects, Travis Hunter, are no exception. The talented WR-Cornerback reveals his keys to having a successful season.
Travis Hunter’s emergence in the league has amazed both fans and critics alike. His innate talent with the ball and exceptional physical attributes make the former Jackson State Tiger a player everyone has their eyes on. He will undoubtedly be one of the standout figures to watch this season.
Under the guidance of head coach Deion Sanders, the Buffaloes began their season on Thursday, August 29th, facing North Dakota State at home in what promises to be an exciting matchup for fans.
The fact that Hunter can excel both as a cornerback and a wide receiver means he trains with two different groups of teammates, allowing him to draw the best from each position. On this topic, and in a lighthearted manner, wide receivers coach Jason Phillips jokingly states that ‘the goal is a 50-50 split.’ Meanwhile, Mathis believes it’s more of a 70-30 advantage in his favor.
The keys to his preparation since High School
One of the keys to Hunter’s performance over the years has been his systematic discipline with training from a young age. While in high school, Travis Hunter would train between two and three times a day.
In a conversation with ESPN, the Colorado star stated: “You’ve got to be super disciplined,” he said. “Some days I wake up and I don’t want to do it, but I know I have a bigger purpose.”
