Suwanee (Ga.) Collins Hill senior cornerback Travis Hunter was compared to Deion Sanders throughout his high school career. He was set to play on the same field as Sanders at the college level.

He’ll get to learn from him personally over the next few years as he will be playing for Jackson State University and not Florida State, Sanders’ alma mater.

Hunter committed to Florida State back on March 3, 2020. He has stayed true to his commitment to the Seminoles despite the best efforts by multiple programs. Hunter took two visits to Georgia during the football season sparking speculation that Georgia was going to be the team that made a run late in Hunters’ recruitment.

Jackson State made a quiet but calculated run at the nation’s top player.

Yesterday, Sanders teased on his Barstool podcast that he was going to ‘shock the country’ on National Signing Day.

He appears to have succeeded in that attempt as he and Jackson State have landed the top-ranked player in the On3 Consensus rankings for the class of 2022.

Hunter is the highest-ranked player to sign with a historically black college. When the day started Hunter tweeted ‘Time to make history.’
