Colorado two-way phenom Travis Hunter received a vote of confidence from head coach Deion Sanders ahead of Saturday's Valero Alamo Bowl against BYU.
During a recent practice, Sanders called Hunter to the middle of the huddle to remind him who he is and how much he means to the Buffaloes.
"I want you to know this in front of everybody: you know we love you, we got you, we appreciate you. You are him," Sanders said.
Hunter has dealt with a wave of chatter on social media about his personal life after he won the 2024 Heisman Trophy earlier this month.
