Travis Hunter billed as country's third-best player in ESPN's midseason top 25
Colorado wide receiver/cornerback and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter was listed at No. 3 in ESPN's midseason top-25 college football player ranking, published Wednesday. Hunter was ranked behind Miami quarterback Cam Ward (No. 2) and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty (No. 1).
Hunter, a projected top pick in the 2025 NFL draft, has 587 receiving yards and six touchdowns thus far this season in addition to stellar play at cornerback. The senior has 16 total tackles, two interceptions, three pass breakups and a forced fumble on defense through six games.
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders also made the list, taking the No. 16 spot.
While appearing on the "Outta Pocket with RGIII" podcast, Hunter sounded off on his chances to win college football's most prestigious award, the Heisman.
“I know I can win it," Hunter said. "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.”
