BOULDER — CU two-way star Travis Hunter was removed from the Buffs’ game with Kansas State on Saturday night and taken to the locker room for evaluation.
Hunter, the Heisman Trophy candidate who leads the Buffs in interceptions, catches and receiving yards, took a hit from K-State safety Daniel Cobb during a 14-yard reception with 8:08 left in the second quarter.
Instead of coming out with the Buffs defense to play cornerback, CU featured Colton Hood at Hunter’s spot when the Wildcats got the ball back.
ESPN sideline reporter Quint Kessenich reported that the junior’s right shoulder was being examined.
Hunter, who has averaged more than 120 snaps per game as a defensive back and a wide receiver, has not missed a game this season.
The Georgia native suffered a lacerated liver in the Buffs’ win over CSU in the 2023 Rocky Mountain Showdown and missed three games, returning for a 46-43 home loss to Stanford.
