Travis Hunter left Colorado as one of the best two-way players in college football history. The unprecedented athleticism on both sides of the ball is why the Jacksonville Jaguars traded up to snag him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The franchise has already said Hunter will be featured at both wide receiver and cornerback. But before he embarks on his NFL journey in Duval, he has one final business matter to handle in Boulder.
Hunter will return to Colorado for graduation this week, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. "From what I'm told, Travis Hunter will walk his graduation stage on Thursday at Colorado," Wolfe said. "Friday, he'll head to Jacksonville, where he'll have rookie minicamp."
Jaguars 2-way rookie star Travis Hunter will walk at his graduation in Colorado Thursday then start Jaguars rookie minicamp on Friday as the “culture changer” they hunted for.

Hunter was a star on the football field and also in the classroom. He carried a perfect 4.0 GPA throughout the season and revealed his final GPA was around 3.8.
One of only three college football players to win eight major awards, Hunter was also a unanimous first-team All-American, earning seven first-team (and eight overall) honors from the five publications the NCAA uses to determine unanimous and consensus honors. He is the first player in the history of the Walter Camp All-America team, the nation's oldest, to earn two first-team honors, and is the first known player to earn two first-team and three overall honors on the AP team.
