A lot of high school football players tend to play both on their offensive and defensive squads. However, it is a rare sight to see that someone is able to carry that over to college football. The phenomenon might not happen a lot but it does occur every once in a while. Travis Hunter is the biggest example of which in recent memory. Coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes have a lot of trust in him. So, does he get paid enough and notch a pretty net worth along with it?
Travis Hunter is going to have a very unusual path to the NFL. Many Power 5 schools were trying to recruit him out of high school. After all, he was a five-star recruit. However, his decision was to join Coach Deion Sanders in the Jackson State Tigers system. This made him the first five-star to have ever committed to an HBCU rather than any of the top schools like Michigan, Alabama, Auburn, and the likes.
His decision got him what he wanted too. Coach Sanders got him to play both as a wide receiver and also as a cornerback. So, it was also a no-brainer for him to follow his head honcho to the Colorado Buffaloes squad. There, he was able to amass quite a lot of endorsement deals due to the rapid rise of the program and its perfect timing with the new NIL legislation. EA Sports College Football, CELSIUS, 7-Eleven, Cheez-Its, and other brands have signed him since.
When everything is tallied up, Travis Hunter has a net worth of about $6 million. His NIL valuation is a big contributor to this because he notched deals that were worth about $2.7 million. Overall, it looks like there is no way but up for him due to how popular he is becoming.
