No name in the NCAA transfer portal is bigger right now than two-way ATH Travis Hunter. A man who can play both wide receiver and cornerback at an elite level, Hunter has the attention of people across the country.

That includes rapper Lil Wayne, who is seemingly a fan of the former Jackson State player.

Lil Wayne was on ESPN2 on Monday night, making an appearance on the Manning Cast. Catching up with another person he is a fan of, Eli Manning, Hunter got a shoutout at the end. As the broadcast was going to commercial, Lil Wayne made his short and sweet statement.

You can see the full moment here.

Lil Wayne will be joining the rest of America, wondering where Hunter will be taking his talents for at least the next two seasons. According to On3’s Chad Simmons, four schools are currently standing out.

Colorado is the easy assumption, as Hunter would be following head coach Deion Sanders out west to Boulder. However, they are not the only team involved in that part of the country, as USC will be fighting for Hunter’s services as well.

If Hunter does decide to stay closer to home, Georgia and Miami are viewed as options as well. The former is competing for a second consecutive national championship, while the Hurricanes are just getting rolling under head coach Mario Cristobal.

No matter where he ends up, Hunter will have a fan in Lil Wayne. Seeing him playing both sides of the ball is fun for everyone to watch. Especially now that he is expected to do so at a Power Five level.

According to the On3 transfer portal rankings, Hunter is the No. 1 overall player. It’s tough to imagine a world where anybody tops him either, being a once-in-a-generation type of prospect.
