Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter to Have Colorado Jersey Numbers Retired at Spring Game

No. 2 and No. 12 will never be worn by another Colorado Buffalo, as Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter's jerseys are set to be retired during the team's spring game on Saturday.

Sanders and Hunter are set to enter the NFL Draft, which begins on April 24 and runs through April 26.

Sanders played two seasons at Colorado under his father and head coach, Deion Sanders. In his senior season, he threw for 4,134 yards, ranking fourth in the NCAA, and 37 touchdowns, which placed him second in the nation.

Hunter also spent two seasons with the Buffaloes, capping off his collegiate career as the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner. In his junior season, the two-way player recorded 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns, along with 24 solo tackles, 11 passes defended and four interceptions.

Hunter and Sanders will become just the fifth and sixth players to have their jerseys retired in Colorado program history. They will join an exclusive group that includes quarterback/halfback Byron White, linebacker/guard Joe Romig, quarterback/tailback Bobby Anderson and running back Rashaan Salaam.

In the latest NFL mock draft by the Bleacher Report Scouting Department, Hunter is projected to go third overall to the New York Giants, while Sanders is slated to be selected second overall by the Cleveland Browns.
