Colorado announced Monday that it will honor Travis Hunter’s and Shedeur Sanders by retiring their jerseys at Saturday’s spring game in Boulder. No Colorado player will ever wear Hunter’s No. 12 or Sanders’ No. 2 again.
Hunter is coming off one of the greatest seasons in college football history as he won the Heisman Trophy while starring as both a wide receiver and defensive back for the Buffaloes. Hunter also won the Paul Hornung Award for most versatile player, the Bednarik Award and Lott IMPACT Trophy for the top defensive player and the Biletnikoff Award for the best receiver. Hunter had 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and a program-record 15 touchdowns on offense and 36 tackles and four interceptions on defense in 2024.
Sanders, the son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders, won the Johnny Unitas Award for the nation’s top quarterback and was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year as he threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2024.
Despite playing for Colorado for just two seasons, he holds the school records for career passing touchdowns, completion percentage and passer rating. In those two seasons, he threw for 7,364 yards and 64 touchdowns with only 13 interceptions.
