Travis Hunter’s father is daring the record books. Forget the George Foreman barbecue grill of names; this is about sheer volume. He insists there are more Hunters sniffing around the football world than the internet will tell you. While most bios list Jaguars rookie Travis as the oldest of four, the patriarch paints a picture of a football factory that could one day rival the Matthews clan, the Watts, or even the Mannings. Two are already on the radar, more are coming, and the old man says one day you might see five Hunters roaming NFL sidelines.

On a show called “South Florida Boys Show,” Travis Hunter Sr. laid out his vision. First, he touched on Travis Hunter, the young pro, already a father himself, with life moving fast. “Now he got a baby, his wife, and build his own family. That’s what it’s about, anyway. Any one of my boys. It gonna be most. They just see Travis right now, but it’s the most. I got two more in high school right now. There are three in high school right now. They just don’t see the other two. They in Georgia too. And then my baby boy, he’s still playing for the Bulldogs. So he’s all on playing football. I got one in middle school in Georgia. He’s starting back to play football. And all on play receiver or play corner.” That’s when the host pressed him: how many sons total are on the field? “Six.”

The list is sprawling—two in high school, one in the NFL, a couple grinding at the middle school level, and a baby boy still suiting up in Georgia youth ball. Hunter Sr. explained the ages like a coach reading off a depth chart: “One of them, 16, 14, 12, 13, 22.” His confidence in the future is bold, almost defiant.

“They’re going to be at least five. They’re going to be at least five, I’m telling you. Because all along, they look up to their brother. Now they know if he can do it, they can do it. And he push them like that. See Trayvis right now got a spotlight because he do the same thing. They grew up in the same exact house. They got the same mama. The other two that play, I got three kids when they born. That’s Trent, and Trevor, and Tray.”

Up until this moment, the accepted narrative was simpler. Travis Hunter, born May 18, 2003, to parents Travis Hunter Sr. and Ferrante Harris, was described as the oldest of four children—sister Taylor, and two brothers, Trayvis and Junior. All three younger siblings were said to be tracking him at Collins Hill High in Suwanee, Georgia. Trayvis, a wiry 5’7”, 140-pound wideout, is the one we knew most about, graduating in 2027. Beyond him, little was public, and the family tree was painted far less crowded than the blueprint Hunter Sr. just unveiled.

That’s where the names get tricky. Travis with one “y” in Jacksonville. Trayvis with a “y” playing receiver. Add in Trent, Trevor, and Tray, and suddenly the Hunter household feels like it was pulled straight out of a George Foreman naming convention—slight tweaks, same DNA. It’s the kind of sibling rivalry that forges athletes, each shadowed by the other, each convinced they’re next in line.

It’s also the kind of environment where positions get inherited. If Hunter Sr.’s prediction holds, this group could chase down the NFL sibling record. Right now, the Gronkowski brothers and the Matthews clan are the gold standard, each with four-plus family members playing on Sundays. But if five Hunters reach the league? That’s a new headline in Canton.

Latest young Hunter on the hunt

That number 12 jersey? The after-the-catch wiggle? Yeah, it looks a whole lot like big bro. Trayvis Hunter isn’t just playing receiver—he’s already stacking offers like trading cards. Right now, he’s sitting on scholarships from Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Jackson State, Tennessee State, and JMU—six in total, with more expected to roll in.

And here’s the kicker: Trayvis plays receiver, but imagine the chaos if he starts pulling double duty and getting reps at cornerback, too. One school to keep an eye on? Jackson State. Following Travis’ path would make this Hunter family storyline even juicier.
