Colorado's Travis Hunter Would've Followed Deion Sanders to Alaska, HS Coach Says

Jackson State, Colorado or the University of Alaska.

The location apparently wouldn't matter for Travis Hunter as long as he was being coached by Deion Sanders.

"(In high school) he would watch clips of Deion, did the same dances, played defensive back and receiver like Deion," Hayden Gregory, who was an assistant coach of Hunter's in high school said, per David Ubben and Justin Williams of The Athletic. "If Deion went to Alaska University, Travis would have followed him."

That plan seems to be working out just fine for Hunter.

Sanders was primarily a cornerback during his Hall of Fame career, but he also returned kicks and punts while occasionally working in as a wide receiver.
