Travis Hunter NFL Draft fate was sealed as number two pick heading to Jacksonville Jaguars.
There’s only one Travis Hunter — and the 2025 NFL Draft was his stage. Wide receiver? Lockdown corner? He’s BOTH. The first true two-way college football superstar in decades just made NFL Draft history and became the centerpiece of a bold new Jaguars era.
Hunter was selected No. 2 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, making him the highest Colorado selection in 50 years and the first player ever announced at two positions (wide receiver and cornerback) on draft night. Let that sink in. The league has never seen a player quite like him.

🎓 Travis Hunter NFL Draft Journey: Built Different in Georgia High School
📍 Collins Hill High (GA)
Travis Hunter was already a human highlight reel by the time he stepped onto the college stage.
- 🚀 3,807 receiving yards
- 🏆 48 TDs (Georgia record)
- ⛨️ 19 INTs on defense
- 💼 5-star recruit, No. 1 CB nationally
In the 7A state title game, he went 10-153-1 TD and forced a fumble. Big-time performance? Standard for Hunter.
Then came the flip. The moment that turned recruiting upside-down:
He chose Jackson State.
🐅 Jackson State: Deion, History, and Hype
In 2022, Hunter spurned the Power Five to join Coach Prime at Jackson State. He became the first five-star to ever commit to an HBCU.
Injuries shortened his freshman year, but the flashes were elite:
- 18 REC | 188 YDS | 4 TDs
- 19 tackles | 2 INTs | 8 PBUs
- 🔥 2 TDs in the Celebration Bowl
He set the tone for what was to come.
🐵 Colorado: Two-Way Stardom, Heisman History
After Deion headed to Boulder, Hunter followed — and became a legend.
2023
- 🚗 Played 147 snaps Week 1 vs. TCU
- 🏃️ 11 catches, 119 yards
- ⛓️ 1 INT in the same game
- Injured midseason, returned with 13-140-2 TDs vs. Stanford
- 🕵️♂️ 3 INTs, 30 tackles on the year
2024: The Heisman Year
- 📊 96 REC | 1,258 YDS | 15 TDs
- 🛡️ 35 tackles | 4 INTs | 11 PBUs
- 🏆 Won the Heisman, Bednarik, Biletnikoff, Hornung, Big 12 DPOY
1,443 snaps — that’s more than an entire NFL offense + defense played all season. Hunter was everywhere. And the NFL took notice.
📊 NFL Draft: History in the Making
Selected #2 overall by the Jaguars, Hunter became:
- 🎉 First player announced at two positions (WR & CB)
- 🥇 Highest Colorado draft pick in 50 years
- 🌊 Core piece of a Jaguars rebuild under GM James Gladstone & HC Liam Coen
He joins Trevor Lawrence and Brian Thomas Jr. in Jacksonville’s new-look offense.
💡 The plan: Start him at WR2 opposite Thomas, use him on defensive packages, and let him cook.
🏛️ Jaguars GM James Gladstone: “There are players that can alter a game. Travis Hunter could alter the sport.”
💪 Hunter: “They did everything to come get me. Now I gotta do everything to help them win.”
