Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter does not believe head coach Deion Sanders will leave the Buffaloes after losing top players, including his sons Shilo and Shedeur Sanders, to the 2025 NFL Draft.

"I got a lot of insight. He ain't going anywhere," Hunter told reporters ahead of the 2024 Heisman Trophy Ceremony in New York (7:00 mark of the video below.) "He's gonna be right where he's at, right now."

Sanders was hired in December 2022 to help the Buffaloes recover from a 1-11 campaign. Colorado went 9-3 and earned a bowl game appearance in his second year as head coach.

The Buffaloes finished the 2024 season short of the Big 12 title game and a potential playoff berth, but were successful in establishing both Shedeur Sanders and Hunter as potential first-round picks heading into the draft.

Shilo Sanders, who finished out his final season of college eligibility this season, is also expected to enter the draft.

The teams on track to have the best odds at the top pick heading into Week 15 are the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders, both of whom could have potential head coaching openings next season with Brian Daboll and Antonio Pierce in tenuous positions.

Pierce's position may be especially uncertain, with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reporting that the addition of Tom Brady to the Raiders ownership group could increase the chances the franchise goes with a new head coach in 2025.

The Raiders are also in need of a franchise quarterback after struggling behind both Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell this season. Should the team end up with a top pick, they could decide to use it to select Sanders, who is ranked as the No. 2 quarterback available in the upcoming draft on Bleacher Report's NFL Draft Big Board.

That potential coaching turnover and the possibility that the Raiders could draft Sanders make the team a "potential fit" for Deion, Fowler has previously reported.

Deion, who inked a five-year, $29.5 million contract when he joined the Buffaloes in 2022, has so far been emphatic about his desire to remain in college football. He said as recently as mid-November that he was "happy where I am" in Colorado.

It makes sense that both he and Hunter are currently focused on the Buffaloes, who are preparing to end the 2024 season with the Alamo Bowl against BYU on Dec. 28. After that, rumors surrounding Deion's candidacy for an NFL head coaching position are likely to increase during the build-up to the draft in April despite both his and Hunter's assurances that he plans to return to Boulder.
