Travis Hunter and the Colorado Buffaloes are back.

During the first drive of the Buffaloes 2024 season opener against North Dakota State Thursday night, quarterback Shedeur Sanders connected with Hunter for a 41-yard touchdown to give Colorado a 7-3 lead.

Fans, including LeBron James, quickly took to social media to hype the touchdown.

The score was a great start to Hunter's second season with the Buffaloes.

The two-way standout made 57 catches for 721 yards and five touchdowns on offense in 2023 and also registered 30 tackles and three interceptions at cornerback. This individual success didn't translate to much team success, however, as Colorado went 4-8.

The Buffaloes re-entered the Big-12 in 2024 and will hope to emerge as a contender with a wide-open conference. The first step, however, is securing he victory over the FCS powerhouse Bison.
