“The only thing I got is trophies.” That’s how Travis Hunter summed up his return to Boulder, a city that shaped his meteoric rise—and the moment he walked back into Coach Prime’s office, the emotion was palpable.
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ rookie star made an unannounced visit to the Colorado Buffaloes facility, catching Coach Deion Sanders off guard in the best way possible. In the latest Well Off Media video, Hunter’s appearance delivered a reminder of just how deep the bond runs between the two.
A Full-Circle Moment for Coach and Protégé
Hunter’s return was more than a courtesy call—it was symbolic. After being drafted No. 2 overall by the Jaguars in the 2025 NFL Draft, the two-way phenom came back to where it all began. As Coach Prime congratulated him, their chemistry lit up the room.
“I can come down there and get some good fishing. Really good fishing,” Sanders joked, looking ahead to Florida life.
“I already jumped in and caught a six-pounder,” Hunter fired back, showing he’s already adapting to his next chapter.
The Packing Up, The Letting Go
Later, the conversation turned practical—Hunter is preparing to move his life across the country. But even then, his attention to detail was impressive.
“That’s why I put a whole AirTag in every box,” he said. “I ain’t got nothing that can break. The only thing I got is trophies.”
The moment captured Hunter’s signature cool and drive. For fans who watched him play with relentless energy in Folsom Field, it was a perfect goodbye line.
A New Chapter, But Never Forgetting Home
Despite his NFL future, Hunter made it clear that Boulder—and Coach Prime—will always be part of his story. The warmth in their reunion proved this wasn’t a one-time player-coach relationship. It’s family.
Final Word:
Colorado fans, don’t be surprised if Hunter makes regular trips back to Boulder. The connection is real. His NFL journey may be beginning, but Boulder will always be home turf.
