Colorado stars Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will play in the Buffaloes' postseason bowl game despite declaring for the NFL Draft, coach Deion Sanders said Tuesday. The decisions eschews a trend of highly ranked players opting out to prepare for the draft.

Both Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter have been rumored to be in play for the No. 1 pick in next year’s NFL Draft.

In a conference call with reporters, Hunter left no doubt about his intentions. He will “for sure” be entering the 2025 NFL Draft. And he intends to keep playing both offense and defense at the next level, too.
