Travis Hunter Cements NCAA Legacy As Historic 2024 Heisman Trophy Winner

by

Travis Hunter, the best football player in college football, was awarded the coveted Heisman Trophy on Saturday night (Dec. 14) in New York City with Coach Prime and son and Colorado quarterback Sheduer Sanders in attendance. In two years with Colorado, Hunter has produced some of college football’s greatest highlights ever as a two-way player at Wide Receiver on offense and Cornerback on defense. The 21-year-old (#12) was among four candidates, winning with narrow voting results. Overcome with emotion, the Colorado star thanked those who supported his journey. “I thank God, man. I never thought I’d be in this position,” Hunter said during his acceptance speech.

During his emotional speech, Hunter paid tribute to his father, Travis Hunter Sr., who couldn’t attend the ceremony. “Dad, I love you,” he said. “For all the struggles you went through… now look at your oldest son. I did it for you.” On Saturday, Hunter became the first receiver to win the Heisman Trophy since Alabama’s DeVonta Smith in 2020, the first defensive back and two-way player to win since Michigan’s Charles Woodson in 1997, and the first Colorado player to win since running back Rashaan Salaam in 1994.

Shedeur Sanders’ Latest NFL Mock Draft Ranking Has Football Fans Up In Arms

by

Shedeur Sanders is the son of Deion Sanders, and the starting quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes. Overall, Shedeur was a sensation last season thanks to his play during the first four games of the year. However, as the season went on, it became apparent that the Buffaloes simply did not have the pieces to compete. Moreover, fans fell out of favor with Deion and his public comments about the other teams in the Pac-12. It was becoming too much, especially since the team’s results were not worthy of around-the-clock coverage.

Now, the Buffaloes are set to begin a new season and the expectations are elevated, especially with how much Deion has been hyping up his team. Additionally, it is a big season for Shedeur who is looking to show NFL scouts that he is a top-tier prospect for the league. In fact, in a new NFL Mock Draft, Shedeur Sanders was projected as the first overall pick, where he would be going to the New York Giants. In second is his teammate Travis Hunter, who plays offense and defense. This Mock Draft has him going to the New England Patriots.

Shedeur Sanders Number 1?

As you can see in the tweets down below, many NFL fans were completely up in arms over this ranking. Many felt as though it is simply undeserved and that Sanders hasn’t proven anything to deserve such a rating. After all, there are plenty of guys with better statistics and winning records who aren’t even close to being projected first overall. One has to wonder if Shedeur will be able to prove his haters wrong, or if they will ultimately be proven correct.

Football Fans React

Let us know what you think of this Mock Draft ranking, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Shedeur Sanders is being ranked too highly here? Will he be a good QB in the NFL somewhere down the line? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the football world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite athletes and their exploits.

Eli Manning Has Simple Response To Deion Sanders

by

Eli Manning had a hall of fame career in his time with the New York Giants. However, playing in New York wasn’t always a for sure thing. Well, it was for Manning and his team. The former Ole Miss star had his sights on playing in the Big Apple, even though the San Diego Chargers held the number one overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. But in the end Manning stood his ground and ended up playing his entire career in New York. A move that Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders has even mentioned to his team.

When discussing the future of his top players, Sanders mentioned that if things don’t go the way he would like, maybe his players would pull an Eli. If the situation doesn’t feel like a fit, Sanders seems sure that Buffaloes QB Shedeur Sanders and DB Travis Hunter could create their own future just like Manning did twenty years ago. To hear Sanders’ comments, check out the video posted below.

Eli Manning Agrees With Deion Sanders Latest Take

However, pulling this off is easier said than done. At one point, during all the talk of the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, many believed that Caleb Williams, who is the favorite to be the number one overall pick, might pull the same thing about not being a part of the Chicago Bears organization. However, those rumors have all but been squashed since the Bears traded starting quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It would take a confident player with a great support system to pull off a move like Manning. However, the potential of two players doing it in the same draft class seems nearly impossible. But, in a world where this actually works out for both guys, would that help Sanders in his recruiting efforts? Telling potential recruits that he can help them land in a perfect situation in the NFL would be a great selling point for any head coach.

Colorado Buffaloes Players Report Stolen Jewelry Following UCLA Match

by

Overall, the Colorado Buffaloes are a team that has received a ton of coverage this season. They currently have a 4-4 record despite winning their first three games. At this point, a lot of the Deion Sanders hype has died down. Instead, many are seeing this team as the average squad they were supposed to be. Regardless, whenever they play, people still try and pay attention. For instance, on Saturday night, they got to play against the UCLA Bruins, who came into the match at 5-2.

In the end, it was a difficult game for the Buffaloes. They ended up losing the match by a score of 28-16. Overall, it was another loss on their record, and you can tell the team wants to avenge it. They play against Oregon State next week, which is yet another ranked opponent. However, the team has other things to worry about. In new videos posted by No Jumper, you can see numerous players talking about stolen goods.

A post shared by No Jumper 🏀 (@nojumper)

As you can see above, the players claim that while they were playing their game, assailants broke into the locker room and took some of their goods. The vast majority of these “goods” were their chains. They say that stuff was taken right out of the locker room and that security didn’t seem to do their job. It’s hard to believe a huge football stadium would drop the ball like this. However, clearly, something was amiss as there were multiple players who were robbed.

Hopefully, the players will be able to get their chains back. However, that might be an impossible task at this point. Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world. We will always be sure to keep you informed of the biggest stories involving the biggest athletes.

Skip Bayless Ripped Apart For Racially Motivated Deion Sanders Question

by

Skip Bayless is someone who has put his foot in his mouth on countless occassions. Overall, he is still employed by FS1 and that probably will not change, anytime soon. After all, he is one of the biggest names at the network at this point. Sure, he ran Shannon Sharpe away from the network. However, his shows still bring in at least some ratings, compared to ESPN. Unfortunately for Skip, without Sharpe, Undisputed has become a huge mess, and fans are not loving it so far.

Recently, Skip has been all in on Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. Although the team lost its game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, Skip is still optimistic about their future. However, during today’s show, he took to Twitter to ask fans a question about Sanders’ team. As you will see, that question was a bit wild, and people were quick to let him know that. “Is Deion’s Colorado now Black America’s Team?” Bayless asked.

Skip Bayless Poses A Question

Overall, the responses to this question probably weren’t what Skip was looking for. The Undisputed host was looking for some real answers here. However, all he was left with was people asking him if he had gone crazy. Moreover, there were some who felt like this was actually a valid question. However, coming from someone like Skip Bayless, it just felt like a complete pander. Needless to say, Bayless might have to be a bit more calculated with his questions, and how he asks them.

Fans React

Unfortunately, it is these types of questions that have made Undisputed a shell of itself lately. With Sharpe enjoying a ton of success with First Take, Bayless’ reign may just be coming to an end. Let us know your thoughts on Bayless and his question, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Lil Wayne Praises Deion Sanders For His Impact On College Football

by

Lil Wayne gushed about his respect for Deion Sanders during a recent interview with Billboard. “I never doubt Unc. I would never doubt him. I think if you were to ask me that question before the season or even before that day I walked in there, I think I probably would have said the same thing. I would have said I could see them at 3-0. I spoke to him that night and his confidence was through the roof, past the stars and the moon.”

Furthermore, Wayne said that Sanders isn’t trying to build Black or hip-hop culture in Colorado, he’s merely working with the vibes around him. “Honestly, with Unc, this ain’t even him trying to bring hip-hop to it, it’s him just going off the vibes and the moods of the kids that he’s coaching. If they love Taylor Swift, he’ll try his hardest to get her up in there. [Laughs.] Trust me, he’s just going off the vibes. Like I said, they’ll run through walls for him because they understand that he’ll do whatever for them, as well. He’s only going to do it for the better of them.”

However, Tunechi isn’t the only person hyping up Sanders right now. Alabama’s Nick Saban also spoke on Sanders during his weekly media availability. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Deion Sanders. First, he’s a great person and he’s done a great job of marketing the program to create a lot of national interest. But I see their team playing well on the field. They play with discipline, they do a good job of executing, they’ve been able to score points, playing decent on defense. So all those things, to me, are indicators that he’s a really good coach,” Saban told reporters on Wednesday.

Furthermore, Saban noted that this was an opinion he had held prior to Sanders’ arrival in Colorado. “He’s always been successful whether it was Jackson State, high school or now in Colorado. His teams have always been well coached.” Sanders began his coaching journey at his Prime Prep Academy in Texas in 2012. He also coached at Triple A Academy and Trinity Christian Community College before landing the Jackson State job in 2020. He went 27-6 with the SWAC powerhouse.

Deion Sanders Invites DaBaby To Colorado, Offers Him A Spot On The Team

by

Deion Sanders has been exchanging social media pleasantries with DaBaby in recent days. It all began when DaBaby hit up Coach Prime while attendings the Panthers’ loss to the Saints with his kids. “PRIME WE NEED YOU IN CAROLINA AFTER YOU BRING THAT CHAMPIONSHIP TO COLORADO. Hit my line coach, let’s talk. @deionsanders.” Deion responded some time later, inviting the rapper up to Boulder. “Lolololol. I’m good here. I need u here my brother. And bring the babies. Prime loves the kids.”

However, after video emerged of DaBaby showing of his skills, Sanders hit DaBaby once again. “Quick feet good release and u stacked the DB,” Sanders commented on the post. “We know you’re a Dogg so You got a offer to play At COLORADO. Let’s go Baby.” Colorado’s next home game is against #5 USC in two weeks’ time.

A post shared by KIRK (@dababy)

Regardless of whether walkout receiver DaBaby rolls up to Boulder, it’s time for the Buffs to prove that they are the real deal. While a 3-0 record and #19 ranking in the AP Poll is nice, it’s fair to say that Colorado has had a fairly favorable start to the season. They beat an overhyped TCU squad by three, crushed the ever-hapless Nebraska, and needed an 11-point comeback and double-overtime to beat a Colorado State team projected to finish 7th in the Mountain West. The team’s upcoming slate of games will be a true test of what the squad is capable of.

For Colorado, Pac-12 play begins with a trip to #10 Oregon. The Ducks are projected to finish fourth in the conference and even received a first-place vote in preseason media voting. However, Colorado will be Oregon’s first real test of the season as well after wins over Portland State, Texas Tech, and Hawai’i. After Oregon is a matchup against #5 USC, led by Heisman favorite Caleb Williams. Beyond that, the Buffs have four other (currently) ranked matchups in #22 UCLA, #14 Oregon State, #21 Washington State, and #11 Utah.

Shaquille O’Neal Has High Remarks For Deion Sanders’ Coaching Job At Colorado

by

This past weekend, Boulder, Colorado was bringing out all of the stars, including Shaquille O’Neal, for one reason and one reason only. If you have not been keeping up with college football this season, the Colorado Buffaloes are the talk of the town this year because of Deion Sanders. Ever since he has taken the reins of what has been a porous program for quite some time, they are back on the map. Just last season the team went 1-11 and were dead last in the Pac-12. Now, they are 3-0 and ranked number 19 in the country in the AP Top 25 Poll.

Colorado was up against it this past Saturday when they faced their in-state rival Colorado State. It was a brutal battle for the Centennial Cup, even with the Rams being 23-point underdogs ahead of kickoff. Colorado was down by double digits, but Shedeur Sanders and the offense came alive in the fourth quarter and both overtimes to stun the visitors, 43-35. Shaquille O’Neal was in attendance and he saw greatness on the field, but also on the sidelines.

Shaquille O’Neal Has Nothing But Compliments For Deion

In an interview with TMZ Sports, Shaq heaped tons of praise on Deion Sanders and the job he has done since his arrival. When a legend in another sport recognizes high-level coaching, you know he is talking about it from experience. The Diesel compared him to another all-timer in Phil Jackson, who led those Shaq and Kobe Bryant teams to multiple championships. He explained, “I know exactly what the [Colorado players] are going through because when you are standing in front of someone that has an impressive resume, and you’re trying to get to the level he get to, everything you say is golden. I felt that way when Phil Jackson first came to the Lakers.” He also added that Deion is the best coach in college football currently. The team is still growing, but make no mistake, Colorado football is here to stay because of Sanders.

What are your initial thoughts on Shaquille O’Neal having this high praise for Colorado head coach, Deion Sanders? Do you agree or disagree that he is the best college football coach right now? Are they realistically able to compete for a national championship, or just a good Bowl game? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Skip Bayless Reveals Travis Hunter Suffered Lacerated Liver After Vicious Hit

by

Travis Hunter has been mesmerizing football fans so far this season, and for good reason. For those who may not know, Hunter is the superstar cornerback and wide receiver for the Colorado Buffaloes. In the first two games of the season, he played pretty well every snap on both sides of the ball. Overall, this kind of dual-threat player is seldom seen at any level. Although some feel like it won’t last, there are some who believe he can be a game-changer once he reaches the NFL level.

Unfortunately, Hunter was targeted on Saturday night in a win against the Colorado State Rams. He was hit late and overall, it was a crushing blow that sent him to the ground. When he got hit, he was writhing in pain and it was difficult to watch. Subsequently, he was taken out of the game and brought to the hospital. Fans have been expressing concern for him ever since. Today, Skip Bayless provided a crucial update on the young man.

Travis Hunter Is A Warrior

As you can see in the clip above, Bayless reveals that Hunter suffered a lacerated liver. Any sort of injury to a major organ is going to lead to caution and concern. Simply put, it was right to take him out of the game. Moreover, when it comes to his return, it will take three to four weeks for him to get right. This means he will not get to play against Oregon and USC, which are Colorado’s two most difficult games of the entire season. They are also the games where all eyes will be on Coach Prime and his squad.

It is safe to say right now that no one expects Colorado to make it through these next two games with an undefeated record. However, if they pull it off, it will contribute further to one of the best stories in college football. Let us know what you think of Colorado, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Colorado University is probably the biggest thing in sports right now. Ever since former legendary NFL cornerback Deion Sanders took the head coaching job, no one can stop talking about them. It is for good reason though, as the team has seen the most press and success they have seen in quite some time. Just last season the Buffaloes went. Now, they have already tripled their win total, as they currently sit at 3-0. Two of their three victories did not come easy after a shootout with TCU and a physical rivalry game this past Saturday with Colorado State. It went into double overtime with the Buffaloes escaping the Rams and some serious stars saw the action live including Offset.

The Migos member has recently been having a whirlwind of the past few weeks. He recently was at the VMAs supporting Cardi B. Additionally, he announced the release of his sophomore album, SET IT OFF, which is due October 13. Finally, he has been in a mixup with Nicki Minaj and her man, Kenneth Petty. It is safe to say the rapper could use some time to himself and that is what he did heading up to the Centennial State.

Offset made sure to make the most of this experience so he participated in a few different things. One of which was a civil ping pong match with Memphis rapper Key Glock. In the video above you can see the two chopping it up and having a good time. Then, the “FAN” rapper became a fan during the Buffaloes game. he stood up in front of thousands of rabid students, helping them get into it by ramping them up. Maybe this gave the team life after they struggled for most of the game.

What are your initial thoughts on Offset heading over to Colorado for their big matchup with rival Colorado State? Is Colorado the biggest headline in sports right now?
