Deion Sanders reacts to Travis Hunter connecting with Colorado State's Henry Blackburn

Less than two weeks after Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter suffered a lacerated liver following a late hit from Colorado State safety Henry Blackburn, Hunter and Blackburn met up to talk about the play and the relationship that has formed between the two men since the incident. The meetup was filmed for Hunter’s YouTube channel, and the video was released this week.

Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders was asked about the meeting and what he knew about it on Friday’s episode of Undisputed on FS1.

“I have no idea how that came about,” Sanders said. “Travis, first of all, he wanted to play this week. He’s not playing. He wants to play but that’s who he is. But Travis is a guy that understands the bigger picture. If he doesn’t, he comes to me and we talk about it. I had nothing to do with that. That was all Travis.”

The nearly 20-minute long video, titled “Travis Hunter Runs Into Henry Blackburn (Worst Enemy),” featured Hunter and Blackburn sitting on a bench and discussing the incident.

They then went bowling with each player putting up $1,000 bucks. The winner would donate the $2,000 to the charity of their choice.

It was a doubles game and Hunter and his partner came out on top. However, Hunter let Blackburn pick the charity. Blackburn selected Realities For Children, which is an organization that “provides for the emergency and ongoing support needs of children in Northern Colorado who have been abused, neglected, abandoned, or are at-risk,” according to its website.

“I had nothing to do with it and I loved it because, honestly, that’s who he is,” Sanders said. “You talk about the kindest, nicest kid. No smoking. No drinking. All he want to do is spend time with his girlfriend and fish and put on that onesie.”

Hunter was one of the stories of the college football season before his injury, emerging on the national scene as one of the best players in the country.

He has nine tackles and one interception on the year on defense and 16 catches for 213 yards on offense.

“You don’t worry about his grades,” Sanders said. “You don’t worry about his conditioning. He’s a really good kid. He’s a great young man that wants to just rescue his family for the rest of their lives. When I saw that, when I read it, I was like, wow, that is wonderful.”
