Hunter added that he practices at “full speed” and doesn’t let anyone stop him, even if head coach Deion Sanders tries to slow him down at times.

Hunter, 21, is the most unique player in FBS college football as he plays both sides of the ball as a receiver and cornerback and regularly plays more than 100 snaps per game.

After bursting onto the scene last season following his transfer from Jackson State, Hunter has been even better this season, playing his way into the Heisman Trophy conversation.

Appearing in all eight games for the 6-2, 23rd-ranked Buffaloes, Hunter leads the Big 12 in both receptions (60) and receiving touchdowns (eight), and has also amassed 757 receiving yards.

In addition, Hunter was a force on defense, recording 14 tackles, two interceptions and 12 big, seven passes defensed.

It’s still unclear how Hunter will be deployed when he reaches the NFL, but his skill set and versatility make him a strong candidate to potentially become the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

It’s atypical for players to play both ways in the NFL, but based on his preparation and practice habits, he may be a prospect capable of bucking the trend and seeing at least some action on both offense and defense to the next level.
