Travis Hunter is one of the most talented players in college football — not just this year but in recent memory. The two-way Colorado star could play at the next level at either wide receiver or cornerback. He’s the focal point of the Buffaloes’ defensive backfield, but he’s not the only pro prospect back there.
Redshirt sophomore cornerback DJ McKinney , a transfer from Oklahoma State, could wind up being a “high first-round pick,” according to Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.
“It’s overshadowed to y’all, not to us,” Sanders Sanders said Wednesday when he was asked if McKinney’s impact so far has been overshadowed by Hunter’s prolific play.
“You guys don’t mention him, but we mention him every every moment we can. I mention him every day to the scouts that are asking me about him every single day we practice. DJ is long, he can run, he competes. … The kid can flat out play the game.”
