Colorado is retiring the uniform numbers for Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders at the Buffaloes’ spring game on Saturday in Boulder, Colo.
The school announced its plans Monday to honor the No. 12 of Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner, and the No. 2 of Sanders, the 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
Hunter, a wide receiver and cornerback, also won the Walter Camp Award and the AP and Sporting News player of the year honors. He finished his two seasons at Colorado with 153 receptions for 1,979 yards and 20 touchdowns. On defense, Hunter recorded seven interceptions and 16 passes defensed.
Sanders won the 2024 Johnny Unitas Award as college football’s best quarterback. In two seasons with Colorado, the son of Buffs coach Deion Sanders completed 71.8 percent of his passes for 7,364 yards with 64 touchdowns and just 13 interceptions in 24 games.
The four previous Colorado players to have their jersey numbers retired are: QB/halfback Byron White (No. 24); guard/linebacker Joe Romig (No. 67), QB/tailback Bobby Anderson (No. 11) and running back Rashaan Salaam (No. 19).
