Rememeber when I said that Shedeur Sanders was an easy pick as a breakout candidate? Well, Travis Hunter is even easier.

The former five-star cornerback was once committed to Florida State before Deion Sanders flipped him to Jackson State. It was one of the biggest flips in recruiting history as Hunter was the No. 1 overall recruit in the class and for him to choose an FCS program over Florida State was a shock and turned college football on its head.

Hunter is naturally a cornerback, but he’s going to be playing both sides of the ball in 2023. He plans on playing some receiver as well as being the team’s top cornerback.

And he’s going to excel at both.

Hunter is an incredible athlete and he’s going to become a star this season with serious All-American potential. I would not be shocked to see him make an All-American team.

Not only will he be a lockdown corner, but he’s going to have a fun connection with Sanders.

One of these 8 teams will win the national title in 2023. dark. Next
