Travis Hunter is already one of college football’s most dazzling players, captivating audiences with an elegant stride, a harrowing presence in the secondary and a motor like few others. He’s hoping to add a little sparkle to that reputation Saturday afternoon when his beloved Colorado faces off against No. 18 Kansas State.
Not only is Hunter hoping to lead the Buffaloes to a season-defining win, but he’s looking to do so in style. He’ll strut into Folsom Field decked out in all his signature attire — from his black arm sleeves to those ever-present Nike mitts.
