Buffalo quarterback Shedeur Sanders has high praise for his teammate Travis Hunter, calling him the best player in college football. Despite his impressive performances, Shedeur Sanders remains a long shot in the Heisman Trophy race, with Hunter being in the top three contenders according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Deion Sanders, Shedeur’s father and head coach, is puzzled by the lack of recognition for his son and believes Hunter should win the award.
Hunter, who plays both receiver and cornerback, had a stellar performance in a recent game, earning him the Big 12 Conference’s offensive player of the week honor. Shedeur Sanders also had an impressive game, setting a school record for consecutive completions. Despite his outstanding stats this season, he is not a top contender for the Heisman Trophy, with his odds at plus-6600.
Deion Sanders is focused on the team’s success rather than individual awards, expressing satisfaction with their progress under his leadership. The Buffaloes have seen a significant improvement since last season, with a current record of 6-2. Sanders is optimistic about the team’s future and believes they are on the right track.
The Buffaloes have had notable players in the Heisman race in the past, including Rashaan Salaam, Byron “Whizzer” White, and Eric Bieniemy. Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are both considered top NFL prospects and have been key players in Colorado’s recent success. The team is aiming for further improvement and is focused on their goals for the season.
