Travis Hunter was the most sought-after high school recruit in the 2022 cycle.
He dominated the competition at Collins Hill High School in Georgia, garnering the respect of being the No. 1 overall recruit (regardless of metrics) for the class. Hunter shocked the college football world when he chose to attend Jackson State University, an HBCU, over Florida State University. It was a huge win for Deion Sanders as a head coach, but things turned complicated on Wednesday with Nick Saban speaking at the 50-day countdown for the World Games in Birmingham, Ala. Saban made claims about Jackson State paying a player $1 million in NIL funds to attend the school.
