5-Star Colorado Buffaloes Standout Travis Hunter Flips Commitment to West Virginia Mountaineers Football
5-star recruit Travis Hunter, a key player for the Colorado Buffaloes, has officially flipped his commitment to join the West Virginia Mountaineers football program. This decision marks a major shift in the college football landscape, as Hunter was a cornerstone of the Buffaloes’ team under head coach Deion Sanders.
Hunter, known for his exceptional ability as both a wide receiver and cornerback, was one of the most highly-touted recruits in the nation. His rare versatility allowed him to excel on both sides of the ball, earning him national recognition and making him a valuable asset for any program. Hunter’s performance with Colorado had been a major part of the team’s success, and his departure leaves a significant gap in their lineup.
The decision to flip his commitment comes amid speculation that Hunter was looking for a new opportunity to further his development and make an impact in a different environment. West Virginia, under the leadership of head coach Neal Brown, made a strong push to bring Hunter into their program, and his commitment represents a massive win for the Mountaineers.
In a statement, Hunter expressed his gratitude to Colorado and head coach Sanders but explained his decision to move forward with West Virginia.
“I want to thank Coach Sanders and the entire Colorado community for supporting me, but I believe this is the best step for my career. I’m excited to join West Virginia and help the team reach new heights.”
The Mountaineers are thrilled with the addition of Hunter, who will undoubtedly bring star power and talent to their roster as they aim to compete in the Big 12 Conference. West Virginia fans are eagerly awaiting Hunter’s arrival, expecting him to be a game-changer for their program.
Meanwhile, Colorado will now have to adjust without one of their top players, but Coach Sanders remains confident in the team’s ability to rebuild and maintain momentum. For West Virginia, landing Hunter marks a significant step in their efforts to elevate the football program, and his presence will surely be felt when the new season kicks off.
