The NFL just got itself a new versatile player who’s all about saying, “Why pick one position when I can do both?” That player is Travis Hunter. Fresh out of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars made a bold move by trading up to grab this Heisman-winning two-way star with the second overall pick. The Jags know how valuable it is to have someone who can light it up as both a cornerback and a wide receiver, boosting their offense and defense at the same time. Since draft day, Travis has been ready to take on the challenge. Lucky for him, the Jaguars are totally on board with his plan, teaming him up with Brian Thomas Jr. to give Trevor Lawrence some serious weapons to work with.

In the meantime, the football legacy of the Hunter family is not ending with Travis. His younger brother, Trayvis Hunter, is also making noise. At age 15, Trayvis is already making waves as a wide receiver at Effingham County High School in Georgia. He’s smaller in the frame but has big-time talent, already having received offers from HBCUs such as Tennessee State and Jackson State – the same university where Travis made history.

Trayvis was in the spotlight recently at OT7 camp, flaunting moves that indicate the Hunter pipeline is not running dry anytime soon. Travis, meanwhile, is out here making the NFL appear to be his merchandise store. Yes, the two-way phenomenon is selling more than everyone, including first-round pick Cam Ward and headline-grabbing Shedeur Sanders. Jaguars supporters (and half the nation, apparently) can’t seem to get enough of Hunter’s No. 12 jersey.

Now, people began wondering about the next Hunter up, Trayvis. You know, sometimes it seems like AIs are just here predict the future. Take, for example, the latest OT7 Instagram post, where the platform asked AI to predict who’d top the OT7 jersey sales. As Trayvis lit up OT7 camp, reeling in touchdowns and ankle-breaking moves, the AI predicted that he’s going to pull a “big bro” and lead the OT7 jersey sales, as well. The teen is only 15, but he already has HBCU offers and a highlight reel that makes opponents pray for a sick day. Trayvis isn’t riding Travis’s coattails, though.

There were more potential names AI predicted after giving Trayvis the top position; AI’s crystal ball is shining on some other young stars. Following Hunter is Ryder Lyons or Bunchie Young for the second spot. Lyons got that QB swagger, and the AI is betting fans will be rocking his jersey all summer. Young got speed, charisma, and a knack for making defenders look silly. Keisean Henderson is another name AI’s got circled. He’s a high-powered QB with a cannon arm and the swagger to go with it. Brysen Wright is also in the running, and he’s noted for his football IQ and versatility. Finally, there’s Madden Williams. He’s got the name, the game, and the swag. Williams is one of those players who seems to attract attention wherever he goes on the field.

With the way Travis’s jersey sales took off immediately after the draft, it’s no wonder fans and recruiters alike are already waiting in line for Trayvis’s merchandise. Now that elder bro Travis is at the top of the NFL rookie jersey sales like he’s operating a one-man merch business, naturally, people and the infamous AI are already saying Trayvis will be the next Hunter to lead the pack, this time at the OT7 level. Consider this: the Hunter surname is effectively a cheat code for buzz these days. Travis didn’t even get picked first overall in the draft, yet he outsold everybody, including first-round pick Cam Ward and headline-grabber Shedeur Sanders.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Trayvis Hunter outshine his brother Travis and become the next big name in football?

Have an interesting take?

The Hunter brothers’ proud legacy

A sophomore wide receiver at Effingham County High School in Georgia, Trayvis Hunter is certainly forging his path and making some significant noise on the high school football scene. He had decent numbers in the 2024 season, 496 receiving yards and six touchdowns in nine games, and a substantial amount of that work came in the final games of the regular season. Travis Hunter does not just speak the talk where his younger brother Trayvis is concerned; he’s all big bro energy, combining tough love with real encouragement. When Travis took home the Heisman, he was sure to give a shout-out to Trayvis in his acceptance speech for the Heisman honor, exclaiming, “My brother, where you at, Trayvis, my boy?” And gave him the validation wholeheartedly.

Travis purchased the family a home close by, facilitating Trayvis’s relocation to Effingham County and demonstrating just how much assistance he is providing his younger brother. His coach even joked about how Trayvis outruns Travis on the field and keeps up, which is quite impressive given Travis’s elite athleticism.

Travis is not only a football legend himself with his Heisman Trophy and NFL draft frenzy; he’s also been a strong motivator and mentor for Trayvis, encouraging him to create his own game and be diligent. Travis’s family is close-knit, and his success at Colorado and now in the NFL is a huge inspiration for Trayvis to keep pushing on.
