The number one high school player in the nation is going to an historically Black university. That really just happened.
Travis Hunter Jr. just made it official. The dual-threat wideout and corner just officially committed to Deion Sanders’ Jackson State on Wednesday, spurning Florida State University for the HBCU.
The moment he did it was even sweeter. Hunter really played up the situation on national signing day. He shuffled through every single hat on his table before officially making his choice.
Georgia. FSU. Both of them tossed from the table. Then he removed his hoodie to show us his Jackson State shirt. He put on his hat and it was all official.
