Hunter and Sanders close successful chapter at Colorado despite blowout loss to BYU in Alamo Bowl
Associated PressSAN ANTONIO — On the scoreboard, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders went out with a whimper at Colorado. “We laid the foundation of the program and it’s safer for the other players coming in to pick up where we left off.” Nothing’s been the same at Colorado since the school hired Deion Sanders as head coach in December 2022 — and that was the idea. “I don’t look forward to it, but I do because that means they are going to another level, another chapter of life, and they’re going to soar,” Deion Sanders said before the game. “I’m thankful that I feel we’ve equipped them with all the tools necessary to be successful.” Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are expected to be among the first five selections in the 2025 NFL draft. Some are projecting Colorado’s star duo could join Penn State defensive end Courtney Brown and linebacker LaVar Arrington in 2000 as the only college teammates chosen with the top two picks.
