Before his injury, Hunter was a two-way star for the Buffaloes playing cornerback and receiver. Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado offense have held things down without Hunter. His presence will make a significant impact on defense.

As seen in the above video, Hunter practiced with the defensive backs. He will likely focus on his cornerback duties as he ramps his activity up. The rise of Omarion Miller means the Buffaloes are less desperate for Hunter's wide receiver services. His ability on defense will allow Colorado to have a more well-rounded attack.

Many thought Colorado was on a downhill fall after they lost two games in a row to college football powerhouses, but they proved they will keep fighting to reach the top. Travis Hunter fought hard to recover from his injury. Deion Sanders and the Colorado football program will be delighted to have him back on the field.
