Former Jackson State athlete Travis Hunter took home college football’s most coveted individual award this past weekend, and the Tigers hope a family member will follow in his footsteps and join the HBCU ranks.
Trayvis Hunter, a sophomore receiver from Effingham County High School in Georgia, announced yesterday he received an offer from Jackson State on X, formerly known as Twitter.
