FSU football: Travis Hunter Jr. plans to play on both sides of the ball

The conversation about FSU football five-star commit Travis Hunter Jr. has been going on for months regarding what position he’ll play at FSU.

Hunter Jr. is the highest-rated cornerback of all-time in the 247 Composite Rankings. I was one of the first to declare he should play on offense after a ton of highlights of him playing receiver flooded social media months ago.

Travis Hunter Jr. appeared on the All Things Covered Podcast with former FSU defensive back Bryant McFadden and provided a clear answer on what position he expects to play at FSU.

He communicated he expects to play defensive back and wide receiver but will mostly play defensive back:

I argued Travis Hunter Jr. has more value as a wide receiver for FSU than defensive back with the state of the wide receiver room. However, that unit should have some clarity by the time he enrolls next season with Malik McClain, Joshua Burrell, and others with a year of the college experience. Keyshawn Helton and Ontaria Wilson could return in 2022 as well.

It’s easy to see why Travis Hunter Jr. excels at everything he does. He appears to be mature well beyond his years and laser-focused on the task at hand. His answer about the NIL policy is maturity personified.

I would encourage you to watch the entire interview. Travis Hunter Jr. talks about what the No. 1 ranking of all-time means to him. He also talks about the type of players he’s recruiting to play with him at FSU, the new NIL rule, and what his best attributes are as a player.

He also goes into why he chooses FSU football and his relationship with FSU defensive backs coach Marcus Woodson. It’s a great interview by a former Nole with a great player that will help turn things around at FSU.
