Coach Prime's son Deion Sanders Jr. shows off Travis Hunter's new Jacksonville Jersey via latest IG post

Former Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter will not be playing for coach Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, next season. However, he still has a coach connection with the team and the Sanders family. As a result, Coach Prime and his family are rooting for Hunter to blossom into a star as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.

On Wednesday, Deion Sanders Jr. made a post on his Instagram story, showcasing Hunter's new Jaguars jersey.

"They got the Travis jersey at the book store," Deion Sanders Jr. said.

Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy last season as a member of the Colorado Buffaloes. He did so while playing both cornerback and wide receiver for Deion Sanders' squad. He then went on to be the second pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

The conversation around Hunter heading into his rookie year has not been about whether his skills will translate to the NFL. Most analysts are unified in the belief that he will be a star. Instead, the conversation is about whether Hunter will be capable of playing on both sides of the ball at the professional level. Hunter is confident that he can be one of the rare players who can pull it off.

Travis Hunter reveals the toughest challenge of playing on both offense and defense

When analysts talk about the possibility of Travis Hunter playing both wide receiver and cornerback full-time at the NFL level, the biggest issue they have is whether he can handle the workload. They are worried that he will be too tired to be effective or be at too high a risk of injury.

However, for Hunter, fatigue and injury risk are not the things worrying him. This week, when speaking with the media, Hunter spoke about the challenges of playing both positions.

"The challenges is just the playbook," Hunter said. "The playbook is the hardest thing. Once you understand the playbook, you just go out there and play fast football, ain’t going to change from being football.

"So my first meeting was on offense, and then after that meeting I went straight to defense got ready for practice came out here on defense, special teams, go on offense and then I’m back on defense for the rest of the day through all the team period and 7 on 7 and then offense again for the last special teams and then I’m back on defense for the remainder of practice."

Travis Hunter and the Jacksonville Jaguars start their preseason schedule on Aug. 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
