Travis Hunter’s incredible versatility and dominance on both sides of the ball this season have captivated fans and analysts alike, solidifying his place in college football history. In a 50/50 snap split between his positions, Hunter ended the season with 92 catches for 1,115 yards and 14 touchdowns while logging 21 solo tackles, 11 pass breakups and 4 interceptions on defense.
NFL Analyst Jay Glazer polled 13 NFL coaches and GM’s about where they would play Hunter: 12 of which expressed a preference for playing him at cornerback. While all those polled cited elite ball skills on offense, the primary reason for the preference was how hard it is to find a shutdown corner.
The Travis Hunter dynasty debate is already in full swing, its going to be a fun ride leading up to rookie drafts. For now, Hunter looks like a risky pick if selected in the early rounds. He’s shown the potential to be a difference maker if he was primarily used as a WR, however he would still lose playing time to defensive snaps. IDP dynasty managers with the 1.01 have a great pick in hand though.
