There’s a new Hunter on the recruiting radar.
Trayvis Hunter, younger brother of Colorado standout Travis Hunter, is starting to gain attention heading into his junior season at Effingham County High School in Springfield, Georgia.
A Class of 2027 wide receiver listed at 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds, Trayvis may not be physically imposing yet, but the interest he’s generating suggests there’s more to his game than size alone.
As of now, Trayvis holds four early scholarship offers: Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Jackson State, and Tennessee State. He also made an unofficial visit to Florida State this past November — a notable stop given that his brother was once committed to the Seminoles before flipping to Jackson State under Deion Sanders.
With a player rating of 84 on 247Sports, Trayvis ranks No. 451 nationally, No. 59 among wide receivers, and No. 50 in the state of Georgia. While those rankings aren’t headline-grabbing just yet, he still has two full high school seasons to elevate his stock.
Colorado Connection?
Despite the obvious family connection, Colorado has yet to officially offer Trayvis. That hasn’t stopped fans in Boulder from speculating about whether Coach Prime and his staff will make a move. Given how closely tied Travis is to the Buffs' resurgence under Deion Sanders, it would make sense for Colorado to at least explore the possibility.
Coach Prime has shown a strong commitment to building relationships with recruits and their families. He was instrumental in flipping Travis from a Power Five school to an HBCU, and then bringing him to Boulder, where he became a consensus All-American and Heisman Trophy winner. That relationship could potentially carry over to Trayvis, depending on his development and Colorado’s roster needs in 2027.
Still Early in the Process
Trayvis’s recruitment is very much in the early stages. As a rising junior, he’s just starting to build his profile with college programs. He flashed playmaking ability during his sophomore season and has already drawn positive attention for his agility, quickness, and upside.
His slight frame means he’ll need to add size and strength to compete at the next level, but his current skillset suggests he could fit into a slot receiver role in a spread offense — something Colorado has increasingly leaned on under offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.
No Crystal Ball Predictions Yet
At this point, no recruiting experts have submitted Crystal Ball predictions for Trayvis, and his list of suitors remains modest. That could change quickly, especially if he makes a leap in his junior season. A strong year in 2025 could lead to offers from Power Five programs, and Colorado fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see if the Buffs join the race.
If Colorado does extend an offer, it could open the door for the next generation of the Hunter family to continue making an impact at Folsom Field.
