Travis Hunter, the phenom footballer who’s been turning heads everywhere. Travis Hunter got drafted just recently, and man, it’s been a rollercoaster ride! Following a stunning commitment to Jackson State, he went along with Deion Sanders to Colorado and became a two-way sensation. Topping off his collegiate career, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy, cementing his reputation as a once-in-a-lifetime talent. The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up and drafted Hunter with the second overall selection of the 2025 NFL Draft, seeing him as a game-changer in both offense and defense. While everyone’s been excited about Travis and his explosive ascension, don’t forget about his brother, Trayvis Hunter. These two are like a made dynamic duo, each forging their way but certainly possessing that same raw ability and football gene.
Trayvis, a sophomore wide receiver at Effingham County High School in Springfield, Georgia, is already hinting at the same dynamic talent that made Travis a superstar. At 5-foot-7 and about 140 pounds, Trayvis is not the biggest or strongest, but his athleticism, route-running ability, and ability to make defenders miss are getting him noticed by recruiters. His sophomore numbers bear this out as well: 36 receptions, 496 yards, and six touchdowns during the previous season, including a career-high 159 yards and two touchdowns vs. Greenbrier High. Trayvis already has offers pouring in for the 2027 class, and why not? When your brother is a Heisman trophy winner. Georgia Southern, Tennessee State, Jackson State (yes, the same school where his big brother Travis rocked the college football world), and Georgia State have shown interest in him. Not bad for a sophomore, huh?
And just when you thought Trayvis Hunter’s recruiting trail couldn’t possibly get any more thrilling. Surprise! Sacramento State jumps into the picture with an offer that sent shockwaves across the board. Trayvis posted on Instagram to declare, “Sacramento State Offered.” and the comments section pretty much became a hype train. Fans, friends, and even other recruits began pouring in with the love, and really, it’s not hard to see why. But the icing on the cake? His mom, Ferrante Edmonds, couldn’t be prouder. As she expressed beautifully in her heartfelt and uplifting post, “Let’s Go Son .”
Ferrante has been the spirit and soul behind the success of both Hunter brothers, always being the loudest cheerleader and posting their milestones on social media. When Travis was drafted, Ferrante shared every prayer, every skinned knee, and every midnight practice that resulted in this moment. Now, with Trayvis getting more offers-including Sacramento State-she’s right there, cheering him on and reminding all of them just how much love and sacrifice go into raising not one, but two football standouts. For Ferrante, it’s not about the offers or the headlines; it’s about watching her boys pursue their dreams and knowing she helped lay the foundation. The Hunter family legacy? It’s only coming on stronger, and Sacramento State is now a part of the narrative.
Trayvis’s big moments on the field
Trayvis Hunter is receiving offers from multiple programs, except the most anticipated one. And that’s surprising: Colorado, the team where Travis became a legend under Deion Sanders, must not have received his spiel or seen that spring game. That is correct, no Buffs in the mix… at least not yet. That is strange, especially after the spring game. Effingham County High’s scrimmage was going to be business as usual, but Trayvis made it his highlight reel. Three touchdowns, none of them easy, and all of them jaw-dropping. For a player who is still developing into his frame (he’s 5’7″, 140 pounds), Trayvis was phenomenal.
The thrilling aspect is that Stanford graduate Connor Wedington was thrilled, highlighting Trayvis’s laser-like concentration and ball handling on social media. It wasn’t merely about piling up statistics; it was how he made it look simple, refined, and downright entertaining to observe. What’s insane is that Trayvis continues to fly somewhat under the radar. He’s No. 59 among wide receivers for the 2027 class, and No. 50 in Georgia overall, according to 247Sports. His sophomore campaign was respectable-36 receptions, 496 yards, six scores, but it’s these game-breaking moments, such as the spring game and his 159-yard, two-TD performance against Greenbrier, that are putting him on the national radar.
You have to wonder how long that will last, though. Trayvis’s tape does the talking, he’s got the footwork, the football IQ, and that swagger of the Hunter family that you just can’t ignore. Travis, now in the NFL, grinding, is his biggest supporter and hardest critic, always challenging him to improve and remain coachable. And after that spring game show, you can bet schools are going to be watching closely, maybe even Coach Prime himself. If Trayvis continues balling out, Colorado will be calling on him before long.
