The Colorado Buffaloes are set to celebrate two of their biggest stars in a major way. During the Spring Game on April 19, the program will officially retire the jersey numbers of Travis Hunter (No. 2) and Shedeur Sanders (No. 12), cementing their legacy in Boulder regardless of what the future holds.

The announcement comes as NFL Draft speculation swirls around both athletes, especially Shedeur Sanders, who has yet to confirm whether he'll declare. For now, Colorado fans can focus on honoring their contributions to the team's transformation under head coach Deion Sanders.

Travis Hunter's game-changing presence

Hunter's two-way dominance made him one of the most exciting players in college football. Whether locking down wide receivers as a corner or making highlight-reel plays as a receiver himself, he brought national attention to the Buffaloes and changed the expectations of what a student-athlete can be.

His No. 2 jersey now becomes a permanent symbol of his impact on the program, and of the bold, versatile playstyle he brought to the field every game.

Shedeur's uncertain path, certain legacy

While Shedeur Sanders remains undecided about his NFL Draft plans, there's no doubt about his influence on the Buffaloes. As the starting quarterback, he delivered poise, production, and an undeniable media magnetism. His leadership played a huge role in Colorado's resurgence.

Now, No. 12 will be retired, regardless of where or when he chooses to take the next step in his career.

Deion Sanders' era takes another historic step

This moment is also a testament to Coach Prime's transformative vision. His decision to bring both players to Boulder ignited a new era for Colorado football, one that's bold, unapologetic, and headline-worthy. The jersey retirements aren't just a celebration of two players, they're a statement about what the Buffaloes are building.

On April 19, the spotlight will shine on Folsom Field. Two numbers will go up, and two names will be etched forever into Buffaloes history.
