During Tuesday’s press conference, Colorado’s Deion Sanders and Travis Hunter shared a humorous moment that drew laughter from reporters. Two-way star Hunter walked into the room while Sanders was mid-question, wearing a pair of lightly worn Nike shoes to get back at Coach Prime. Hunter had obviously “borrowed” the shoes, prompting Sanders to ask what was wrong with them, adding, “Do they fit?”

Hunter replied that they were a good match, but joked that he had a pair on leave, adding humor to the situation. This playful exchange drew giggles from the room. Sanders, known for his quick wit, handed over the shoes and remarked, “How does a man wait for you to take off your shoes… Yeah… It’s unbelievable. He has so much money and is so frugal. It reminds me. someone’s.” The moment highlighted the fatherly relationship between Sanders and his star player, who has become a leader on the field and a Heisman favorite.

Hunter’s performance this season was indeed “unbelievable”. Showcasing exceptional talent, he was a force on both ends of the court. He recently had nine receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown, just one yard shy of his fifth 100-yard game. His season stats include 69 catches for 856 yards and nine touchdowns, making him the all-time leading rusher in Colorado history. Defensively, Hunter played 86 of 87 snaps, adding a career-high 162 plays this season. Pro Football Focus reports him as nearly untouchable in coverage, allowing just 16 receptions on 26 targets over 269 defensive plays and giving up just 120 yards.
