"These are so hard": Travis Hunter unveils shiny black cleats for Colorado's Week 7 game against Kansas State
Travis Hunter will suit up for the Colorado Buffaloes (4-1, 2-0) clash against the No. 18 Kansas State Wildcats (4-1, 1-1) in a Big 12 conference matchup. The Buffs are in the seventh heaven, given their undefeated status in conference play, and are already inviting playoff shouts.
Hunter revealed his cleats for the Buffs game against the Wildcats. An X user tweeted a video of Hunter showing off his shiny jet-black cleats.
"These are so hard bro...," Travis said while showing 360 degree view of his kicks on the camera.
The Florida native has been insane on both sides of the ball this season. His offensive stats read 46 receptions for 561 yards with six touchdowns. On the defensive front, the Colorado star has recorded 15 total tackles, two interceptions, and one forced fumble—the one on Baylor Bears' running back Dominic Richardson that won Coach Prime's team the game in overtime.
Former NFL legend advises Travis Hunter to go all in
The Buffs’ two-way sensation had much to discuss with NFL legend Richard Sherman. Hunter is eyeing the 2025 NFL Draft and is already being projected as the potential No. 1 pick. Appearing on “The Richard Sherman Podcast,” the former cornerback, who previously called Hunter "bland," stepped in to cool things down.
After clearing the air, the duo sat down and discussed the potential NFL career that the 21-year-old has in front of himself. Sherman, the Super Bowl XLVIII winner and a seasoned veteran with a decade of pro experience, shared valuable insights on what it takes to succeed at the next level. Using his own journey, Sherman told Hunter:
"I went in there and I promised myself, ‘You're going to play fast and you're going to trust yourself. If you're getting sent home, you're going to get sent home being your best and letting it fly … So when I got to the league, it was the same way." [32:00]
Travis Hunter listened closely as Sherman explained how critical it is to stay ahead of the curve. The Colorado athlete has a bright future ahead of him, and Sherman’s advice seems to be to go all in and trust your instincts—don’t let self-doubt hold you back.
