Following a solid victory last weekend against Cincinnati, the Colorado Buffaloes are certainly emerging as serious contenders for the title. Both Travis Hunter and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> are having outstanding seasons, earning them nominations for the Heisman Trophy. In this regard, the star QB shared a clear message to his teammate.



Throughout the 8 games played by Deion Sanders’ team, both Shedeur and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter">Hunter</a> have delivered outstanding performances, grabbing the spotlight week after week. At this point in the competition, there’s serious talk that both are equally in the running for the coveted award.



Regarding this situation, it was the quarterback himself who, in statements to the press, made it clear what he thinks about his own candidacy for the Trophy and the season that Hunter is having so far.



“I just want Travis to win,” Sanders said via Romi Bean of CBS News Colorado about his teammate. “He is the best player in college football hands down, and I’m just excited for him to win it. And that will make my day.”

<h2>The clear message from Head Coach Deion Sanders</h2>



Following the commanding victory last weekend by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Colorado Buffaloes</a> over Cincinnati, it was none other than their coach, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football/ncaaf-news-buffaloes-hc-deion-sanders-sends-a-strong-warning-to-other-teams-after-win-over-cincinnati">Deion Sanders, who issued a serious warning to the rest of the teams </a>in the league about what’s to come.



“That’s one of the hurdles that we’re jumping over and going over. That’s a tremendous hurdle that we’re happy, we’re excited, but that’s not the end goal for us. That’s the beginning, but we are thankful and appreciative that the hard work is going noticed,” the HC stated.

As the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAAF</a> gradually moves into the decisive phase of the season, a few candidates for the Heisman Trophy remain strong in the race, even with several weeks of competition still ahead. Boise State star Ashton Jeanty sent a clear message to Colorado Buffaloes player Travis Hunter about who will ultimately claim the trophy.



In a meeting with YouTuber Donald De La Haye, better known as ‘Deestroying,’ Jeanty was asked about the comments made by one of the Buffaloes’ stars, Travis Hunter, regarding the Heisman Trophy race: “Kudos to Travis, he ballin’ for real,” Jeanty said.



“He’s doing some stuff we ain’t never seen nobody do. Personally, I don’t take no offense to [his comments]. He’s just speaking his opinion. For me, what I’ve been doing hasn’t been done in 36, 37 years, so that’s something special. If I keep that up and break a record that’s been around for 36 years, I feel like you can’t really compete with that,” the RB finally stated.



Both Ashton Jeanty and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter">Travis Hunter</a> are strong contenders in the race, but there are also other notable players like Miami QB Cam Ward and Alabama’s own Jalen Milroe, who could also emerge as potential winners.

<h2>What did Travis Hunter say?</h2>



In a recent conversation with Robert Griffin III on his podcast, Outta Pocket with RGIII, the Colorado Buffaloes star was emphatic about his chances of winning the Heisman: “I know I can win it, but I don’t know who’s there. I mean y’all see Ashton Jeanty, it’s not like we haven’t seen a running back that’s good. We haven’t seen a player that plays both ways and I’m gonna keep saying that.”



Hunter continued: “He has, I think, 95 carries for 1,000 yards. If I had 95 catches, how much yards you think I’d have? If I had 95 targets on defense what you think I’d have? If I had 95 catches on offense, what do you think I’d have…So I try to tell you, he’s got double the touches I’ve got on the offensive side of the ball and I still have defensive stats that’s still crazy and we’re only in Week 6, So I’m not gonna argue about it.”

Without a doubt, Hunter is having an exceptional season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Colorado</a>, playing both cornerback and wide receiver. He currently leads the Big 12 with 49 receptions, 587 yards, and six touchdowns as a receiver, while also excelling as a cornerback with 16 tackles and two interceptions.

NCAAF News: Boise State's Ashton Jeanty sends strong message to Travis Hunter on Heisman Trophy race - Bolavip US

Two-way star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter">Travis Hunter</a> has grown sick and tired of being quiet on his talent. Hunter is confident in his game and firmly believes there is no other player on his level in the nation. Amid a heated race for the Heisman Trophy, the Buffaloes standout threw shade at Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty has been sensational for the Boise State Broncos and is on pace to shatter Reggie Bush’s rushing record, however, Hunter seemed unfazed on the running back’s feat.



Recently, Travis Hunter’s production has slowed down in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> season due to health concerns. During Colorado’s loss to Kansas State, Hunter exited the game due to an upper-body injury. His stats took a hit, and so did his Heisman’s hopes. Meanwhile, Jeanty delivered another dominant performance, causing Hunter to fall in the rankings, leaving him with ground to make up. 



Deion Sanders’ <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a> are gearing up to face the Arizona Wildcats, aiming to get back in the win column. The Heisman Trophy remains a top priority for Hunter, and he’s made it clear how he feels about comparisons between him and Jeanty.



“I mean y’all see Ashton Jeanty, it’s not like we haven’t seen a running back that’s good. We haven’t seen a player that plays both ways and I’m gonna keep saying that,” Hunter stated, on Outta Pocket with RGIII.

<h2>Hunter comments on where he wants to play in the NFL</h2>



Hunter is a one-in-a-kind player. The stellar wide receiver/cornerback has taken center stage in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> and is considered the top prospect heading into the NFL Draft. Although no player can choose where they want to play in the top level (albeit a handful of examples), Hunter has made it clear where he’d like to go in the Draft.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/deion-sanders-sends-clear-message-to-shedeur-colorado-players-about-painful-loss-to-kansas-state"></div>


“Whoever the first team on the board, that’s where I wanna go,” Hunter said. “Nobody does what I do. It’s just that simple. I know a lot of people try to hate on me; I’ve been humble for too long.”



On other interviews, Hunter had expressed his desire to stay in Colorado and the two-way player hinted at a possible dream scenario in which he is drafted by the Denver Broncos.

In the lead-up to Week 7, where the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a> will face Kansas State, the eccentric coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Sanders</a> made an appearance on College Gameday and made it clear about his player and the chance to dethrone Ashton Jeanty in the Heisman Trophy race.



“How do you even fix your mouth to say [Travis Hunter is not the Heisman favorite]?” Sanders stated. “Second? Travis Hunter is second? Travis Hunter and second have never gotten along.”



It’s worth noting that both Hunter and QB Shedeur Sanders have been key players for the Buffaloes, who have serious intentions of winning the title.

“It’s not me against Travis,” Sanders stated, per Sports Illustrated. “I had my turn, man. I’m not a door knob anymore. You can’t just turn me on and off like a light switch anymore. I don’t do that. Travis is everything. He is ‘it.’ It’s his turn now. I want him to have all the accolades, all the praise, all the love, all the attention, and all the focus that he desires.

<h2>Heisman’s final sprint</h2>



The Heisman Trophy race is heating up in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a>, with three top candidates in the mix. Colorado’s Travis Hunter holds an edge due to his exceptional two-way play. However, the challengers are closing in after standout performances, while Hunter and the Buffaloes were on a bye week. He has some ground to make up.

Cam Ward and Ashton Jeanty are also strong contenders for the trophy, with solid cases to win in December in New York City. However, Deion Sanders’ talented two-way star at Colorado is widely regarded as the most complete player in the nation and could reclaim the top spot as he returns to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> action this weekend.
