Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter continue to improve their reputations ahead of the 2025 NFL draft.

Sanders threw two touchdown passes to Hunter and rushed for another touchdown in the first half of Saturday night’s home game against Cincinnati.

His effort led the Buffaloes to a 10-point halftime lead.

Shedeur & Travis different, different now man!

Sanders ended the Buffaloes’ first drive of the game with a short touchdown pass to Hunter, then ran for a touchdown of his own on Colorado’s next possession.

The Colorado quarterback entered halftime having gone 18 of 21 for 219 yards with three total touchdowns through two quarters.

Hunter caught a 34-yard touchdown pass from Sanders, his second of the night, in the final seconds of the second quarter.

The wide receiver and cornerback entered the break having made seven catches for 113 yards, while recording one solo tackle and two passes defensed on the other side of the ball.

The Saturday night dominance of Colorado’s star duo left some fans wondering if Sanders and Hunter could go as high as the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the upcoming NFL draft.

The crowd at Folsom Field on Saturday night included five-star quarterback Julian Lewis.

Lewis, who will be part of the Class of 2025, has verbally committed to USC but made his first official visit to Colorado last spring.

Colorado will hope Sanders and Hunter’s performance tonight is impressive enough to encourage Lewis to reverse his commitment to Boulder for next season.
