Travis Hunter

[ZedFedder]

Steve Wiltfong is reporting that the #1 player in the country may flip from Florida State to... JACKSON STATE. Holy cow, whether it happens or not, Coach Prime isn?t playing.

[msstate7]

If JSU follows up this season with another good one, it's probably directional school time to prime time.

[Tough Dawg]

Credit to his relationship with Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports. It?s paying off.

So if a kid like Travis Hunter goes to Jackson State, is he doing himself a disservice? Will he develop against non Power 5 competition?

Maybe, maybe not. Walter Payton and Steve McNair had great nfl careers

He'll be fine. He'd be developed by the best defensive back to play the game.

[HancockCountyDog]

Hunter to JSU is a done deal.

Freaking amazing.

[MetEdDawg]

Sounds like this is actually happening. Apparently folks at FSU being notified he's going to Jackson State.

This is wild.

You lose a football game to Jacksonville State and the top recruit in the country to Jackson State in the same season.

Life hits hard sometimes.

And Jerry Rice.

Portnoy doing work. Barstool NIL

These is just a damn good sports story. Wasn't Deion already worth millions before he landed the JSU Gig? His passion is real and he seems to be doing what he wants to be doing. He was involved in the high school football scene here in N.TX prior to JSU. I respect a guy doing what he loves while not needing the money. (Assuming he does not)

FCS COY; Only FCS team not to lose to another FCS team. Not to shabby Prime Time.

You'd be surprised how many SWAC players in the NFL.

[StarkVegasSteve]

He isn?t going to JSU for Deion, he is going there because Barstool bought him for Deion so they could get better ratings for their Deion documentary. However, they probably just screwed Deion out of ever getting that FSU job.

[CovertDawg]

He will do just fine as a corner. Can't teach his speed and quick twitch. If he was D-Line or O-Line then I would think differently just because you really do grow up battling other 300 pound dudes each day and getting the Power 5 strength & conditioning/ diet.

[Fader21]

2 things will happen for Deion. JSU changes conferences (It is in Deion's Contract if they move conferences he gets 100,000 dollars) or Deion Sanders gets a Power 5 school job.

[BrunswickDawg]

Text exchange with an FSU buddy of mine:
Me: Damn, Prime Time out here stealing y'all's #1 recruit. That's a kick in the nutts.
FSU Guy: You mean buying? College football is no longer. It's semi pro now. I very well may stop watching.

No, he didn't see the irony of an FSU fan complaining about a player being bought.

[HoopsDawg]

I would like to see the fine print on that deal. $$$ must be spread out over multiple years or you could just take the money and hit the portal after 1 year.

[Maverick91]

over under on how many balls will actually be thrown his way during his career there? im going under 75.

[BigEasyDawg]

I'm hearing something to the effect of 2 mil and a tv contract for Travis Hunter with Barstool.

[Maroonthirteen]

Regardless of irony, he ain't lying.

Offering a guy a tv deal and contract to sign for a certain school should be a ncaa violation. Maybe it still is but nobody cares.
