Travis Hunter breaks down how natural playing both ways is for him

football is on a bye this week and top two-way star Travis Hunter took the opportunity to head to college football's game of the week, at Penn State.

He joined the set of ESPN's College GameDay to discuss how his season is going and what the future might look like for him.

Top of everyone's mind was how Travis Hunter will line up in the NFL. A two-way star in college, he has played both cornerback and receiver and proven equally proficient in both. That's how he'd like to leave it.

"Nah, a lot of people try to put me in a box if I've got to pick a position, but I've been doing this my whole life," Hunter said. "I've been doing this since I was playing Little League football, so all I know is to play both ways. So it's not up to me to pick up and see what I go play."

Travis Hunter has been a monster on both sides of the ball.

Already this season he has racked up 60 catches for 757 yards and eight touchdowns. On the other side of the ball he has logged 20 tackles, a tackle for a loss, a forced fumble that ended a game, two interceptions and seven pass breakups.

So when it comes to picking one or the other, Hunter doesn't want to be the one to make that call.

"I feel more natural with both of them. Ever since I started and been able to have a trainer I've been training on each side of the ball, so it's been pretty simple and easy for me," Travis Hunter said. "I think wherever the NFL needs me or whatever team I go to, wherever they need me I'm going to go out there and just play ball."

He's been projected as a first-round pick, with most publication seeming to favor him as a cornerback at the next level. But as long as he keeps producing, the certainty is that he will be drafted and he will be drafted high.

If nothing else, his knowledge of how to play on both sides at a high level should only help him from an Xs and Os standpoint going forward.

Time will tell where Travis Hunter lands.
