During this low time for Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes, brief hope sparks among fans through Travis Hunter. The 20-year-old Buffaloes player asked to be let back on the field despite his injury. But the catch here is that he is still expected to be out of the season for two more weeks.

The last match against the Oregon Ducks has left the Buffaloes in a muddle at 42-6. And the upcoming game in Week 5 is going to be no less challenging when they face USC. So, what is Coach Prime’s take on his star player asking to return before the recovery timeline?

Travis Hunter is ready to charge with Deion Sanders Buffaloes

This post features a clip of Deion Sanders sharing with his team a text message between him and Travis Hunter. He reads aloud what Hunter texted him, “I need to play this week. We need to get everything we can so I can get back on the field. I’m not taking no for an answer.“

Travis Hunter met with an injury during Week 3 against Colorado State in the first quarter and is expected to be out for three to four weeks. His injury report stated that he had a lacerated liver that stemmed from foul play and had to leave after the first half of the game. 

But the recent defeat gave him a sense of determination that overruled his need for recovery. Coach Prime, however, has something else to say about his zest to return. He knows when his players need their required rest period.

Deion Sanders replied to Hunter, saying, “No, you ain’t ready and I care about you more than I care about this game. You going to change the game of football one day when you’re healthy and ready. Your future’s brighter than mine ever would be and ever was. Relax and get healthy. I love you son.“

Cornerback and WR Travis Hunter is a rising football star

The Buffaloes freshman plays as a cornerback and wide receiver and is a valuable player beginning his season with the Buffaloes this year. His cornerback stats this season are one interception, two pass breakups, and nine tackles, while his receiving stats are 16 passes for 213 yards. 

With Travis Hunter out of the team for the game against Oregon, Colorado sank as low to a halftime deficit of 35-0 and overall 42-6. But his return is still on hold as Coach Prime refuses to give the green signal. 

The upcoming match against No. 8 USC Trojans at Folsom Field is undoubtedly going to be highly competitive, and Colorado will need its best players. But with Travis Hunter left with no option but to sit out another difficult game, we can only hope Deion Sanders Buffaloes will outplay themselves this time.
