Colorado 2-way star Travis Hunter living up to his Heisman standards after following Deion Sanders

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! While only the first game of a long season — especially if playing both sides throughout — Hunter’s spectacular performance Saturday in the Power Five debut for he and his coach came against a future Big 12 foe that played in last year’s national championship game. When Coach Prime got the job at Colorado, which won only one game last season, Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the coach’s son, were among the players who went west with him after the Tigers won their second consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference title. After he sprinted down the right sideline past second-team AP preseason All-America cornerback Josh Newton in the first quarter, Shedeur Sanders’ pass from midfield was in Hunter’s hands as he lunged forward before it came loose after falling hard into the end zone. “If he gets two deep balls, the Heisman is at his crib chillin’ right now.” ___ AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll
