Sometimes, Travis Hunter’s younger brother needs a break from the constant spotlight on his famous sibling. “People ask what it’s like to be Travis’ brother? I answer, we live together, it’s normal,” he said. Wearing No. 12 like Travis, they share a number but not a personality: he’s reserved; Travis is flamboyant. But Trayvis is also turning heads on the field as his high school’s go-to playmaker. Last season, he racked up 36 catches for 496 yards, then kicked off 2025 with a three-TD explosion in the spring game. Now a junior, he’s carrying that momentum into the new season, already posting 5 catches for 61 yards in just 2 games. But what does the future hold for his college football career?

Former NFL QB Cam Newton isn’t done shaping the Hunter legacy. First, it was Travis, mentored at a 7-on-7 in Atlanta, guided through the NFL Draft, and taught what it really takes to be a top pick. Now, Newton is turning his attention to Travis’ younger brother, Trayvis. The mentorship continues. Now with Newton in his corner, Trayvis gets a head start, learning from one of football’s brightest minds.

On September 10, Cam Newton turned heads with a post for Travis Hunter’s younger brother, asking, “What college do you think Class of 2027 Trayvis Hunter will end up at?!” But the post wasn’t just hype; it was a flex. Trayvis already holds 13 major college football offers, including powerhouses like Miami, Michigan, Georgia, Ohio State, Auburn, Colorado, LSU, Texas, Clemson, and Florida.

At just 5-foot-8 and 145 pounds, the Effingham County speedster is already making waves. “He’s dynamic with the ball in his hands. We try to get him the ball, for sure,” praised John Ford, Trayvis’ high school coach, highlighting his speed and on-field instincts. But his impact goes far beyond the stats.

“Trayvis is quiet, but he’s cool. He stays humble. He’s our brother, our teammate, that’s it,” said Rebels teammate Isaiah Brown. Outside the spotlight, Trayvis keeps it low-key, casually carrying books in a backpack stamped “CU Buffs,” showing he’s more than just his famous last name. Georgia Southern and Appalachian State are offering him spots, and some smaller programs are interested. “He carries himself as Trayvis. And he’s a great young man, works hard. He’s competitive. I love him,” remarked John Ford. So, the message is clear: he’s carving his own path, making a name on his own terms. But what about the bond between the two brothers?

Last season had its share of unforgettable moments. Travis dropped by a Rebels practice during Colorado’s off week, and teammates lined up for photos. “It was cool,” mentioned Brown. On the flip side, Trayvis was also in New York City, witnessing his brother lift the Heisman Trophy. Now, the brothers are chasing massive dreams in different fields. But Trayvis isn’t holding back; he’s stepping forward with a bold claim of his own.

Travis Hunter’s brother makes a daring statement

With T.C. Taylor, former Deion Sanders OC, at the helm of JSU, Trayvis has strong guidance to hone his skills. And here, the Effingham County Rebels junior isn’t shy about his confidence.

“I’m faster,” said Trayvis, adding with a grin that he believes Travis would back him up. Honestly, his speed and quickness make him a serious threat on the field, and scouts are taking notice of the younger Hunter’s explosive playmaking abilities. Well, Trayvis’s blazing speed shone in the spring game against Richmond Hill, where he raced past defenders to haul in three TD catches.

Following that, Rebels coach John Ford praises Trayvis not just for his talent but also for his mindset. Now, unlike his flamboyant older brother, Trayvis keeps it low-key, letting his game speak. With college programs watching closely, don’t be surprised if Coach Prime eventually extends a walk-on opportunity to the dynamic younger Hunter at Colorado.
