Travis Hunter gets special, unexpected surprise hours ahead of CSU game

Hours before his Colorado Buffaloes take on CSU, Travis Hunter got a special, special gift from EA Sports -- who decided to give a good boost to Hunter's morale by sending him the EA Sports College Football 25's regular edition with a portable Play Station 5 in a custom Buffs POGA Lu gaming case.

And that's not all. More stuff like '"Bring Glory Home" crewnecks in beige and black colors and another one with Hunter's graphic on it were also waiting for Hunter.

A child-like bright smile overtook Hunters' face as he received one of the "best gifts he's ever had." The other one? His TRX truck, which was gifted to him by his soon-to-be wife Leanna Lenee.

The custom surprise for Hunter comes just a couple of days after the Buffs star headlined the grand revelation of GEN/EA Sports 2024 roster. As of now, only three others, F1 Academy driver Bianca Bustamante, Real Madrid forward Endrick, and Angel City FC forward Alyssa Thompson have joined Hunter in the esports giants' latest venture.

The GEN/EA Sports 2024 venture is all about "amplifying their voices, engaging them, especially around important moments in sport and their own lives, while also leveraging their unique perspectives as elite athletes, creators, and community leaders to positively influence the experiences delivered by EA Sports," per the company's statement.

Travis Hunter will be much more than just an NFL star, he's the 'Iron Man'

Steven Corder of Star Local Media believes that Hunter's specialization is what will make him an Iron Man in the NFL.

"With the rare ability to dominate as both a wide receiver and a cornerback, there is growing belief that Hunter could be the NFL’s next great two-way player, a throwback to the legends of old," Corder said.

Even Koodell Stewart, the NFL legend who played in multiple positions in the NFL back in his days, called Hunter a "special' talent"; one who should play on both sides of the ball in the league and should even be selected as a potential top pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
