Sun Oct 13 03:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Colorado’s Heisman Hopeful Travis Hunter Exits Game with Shoulder Injury
**Boulder, CO** – Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter, a Heisman Trophy contender, left Saturday’s game against Kansas State in the second quarter with an apparent shoulder injury. Hunter, who excels on both offense and defense, walked off the field twice with shoulder pain before leaving the stadium for the nearby medical center.
The junior, known for his standout play on both sides of the ball, had been a key factor in Colorado’s success this season. Offensively, Hunter ranked 10th nationally with 561 receiving yards and tied for sixth with six touchdowns. Defensively, he’s a lockdown cornerback with three passes defended and two interceptions.
Hunter’s departure from the game comes at a crucial time for the Buffaloes, who trailed Kansas State 14-7 at halftime. His unique ability and workload make him one of the toughest players in the country to replace.
Concerns regarding Hunter’s workload have been raised in the past. He played a remarkable 620 snaps in his first five games this season, essentially playing two games every week. Last season, he missed three games after suffering a dirty hit, and now faces another potential setback.
The extent of Hunter’s injury is currently unknown, but his status for upcoming games remains uncertain. Fans and coaches will be anxiously awaiting updates on his condition.
