Looks like Colorado is not letting legends walk away without a proper farewell. Before Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders embark on their NFL careers, the Buffaloes honored them one last time. While their jersey numbers are retired, their names are now enshrined in Colorado’s Legacy Hall, alongside the trophies and awards they earned in Boulder. These two players did more than just win games. They changed the team’s entire culture.
That’s right. Shedeur Sanders’s and Travis Hunter’s names are etched on Colorado’s walls forever. And CU Buffs didn’t waste a single moment to let this news out on X: “Two new legends. One historic hall. Welcome to Legacy Hall, Travis Hunter & Shedeur Sanders. ” Well, the honors speak for themselves. Hunter’s display straight-up flexes: Heisman, Biletnikoff, Paul Hornung, Walter Camp. You name it, he probably won it. Meanwhile, Shedeur’s resume includes the Johnny Unitas Award and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
Following this massive announcement, even Colorado’s Creative Director Brent DePaepe couldn’t hold back his praise for both of them as he hit X, saying, “8 new trophies added, baby! One additional Heisman Trophy pedestal and a 25-foot countertop extension. Tough but fun project. Thank you, Travis and Shedeur! Plus, some nicely upgraded plaques for our existing Colorado football legends. #GoBuffs” Yes! They literally had to expand the space just to hold all that greatness.
Two new legends. One historic hall.

What’s wild is how far they came to get here. Both Hunter and Shedeur started at Jackson State under Deion Sanders and took a massive leap of faith following Coach Prime to Colorado. Turns out, that move paid off huge. Hunter went No. 2 overall in the NFL Draft and plans to keep playing both ways. Even though Shedeur slid to the fifth round, he’s going to get his shot at Browns camp. Meanwhile in Colorado, their legacy is cemented. Their future is just getting started.
