### Travis Hunter Declares for 2025 NFL Draft, Eyes No. 1 Pick

Travis Hunter, the renowned two-way star from Colorado Buffaloes, has officially declared for the 2025 NFL draft. Known for his extraordinary skills as both a wide receiver and a cornerback, Hunter made his intentions clear in a conversation with ESPN's Adam Rittenberg, affirming, "That's definitely for sure."

Hunter's ambition extends beyond simply entering the draft; he aims to continue playing both sides of the ball in the NFL, a rare feat that he has successfully managed during his time at Colorado. This endeavor has already placed him as a prime contender for the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft, according to Sports Illustrated's latest NFL Mock Draft. Although the team securing the No. 1 pick remains undetermined, the Jacksonville Jaguars currently hold that coveted slot.

In addition to his NFL aspirations, Hunter is a strong candidate for the prestigious Heisman Trophy this season. He faces stiff competition from Boise State's star running back Ashton Jeanty and Oregon's quarterback Dillon Gabriel for the award.

The next few months promise to be thrilling for Hunter, as Colorado Buffaloes are also vying for a spot in the College Football Playoff, currently ranked No. 16. This season, Hunter has put up impressive numbers, with 74 catches, 911 yards, and nine touchdowns on offense, along with 23 tackles and three interceptions on defense.

Travis Hunter's decision to declare for the 2025 NFL draft is a significant milestone, not just for him but also for the teams eagerly watching his next move. As he gears up for the challenges ahead, his performance and determination will undoubtedly remain in the spotlight.
