Colorado<\/a><\/strong> has announced it will retire the jerseys of recent football standouts Shedeur Sanders<\/a><\/strong> and Travis Hunter<\/a><\/strong>. It will do so during the team\u2019s spring game<\/a> on April 19.<\/p>\n

That means the No. 2 jersey (Sanders) and No. 12 jersey (Hunter) will officially be honored by the program. Colorado\u2019s spring game is set for Saturday, April 19.<\/p>\n

The Buffaloes are coming off a special turnaround, one that Sanders and Hunter played a large part in helping execute. After going just 1-11 in 2022, Colorado got an infusion of new energy when Deion Sanders<\/a><\/strong> took the head coaching job.<\/p>\n

He helped bring in new talent, like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. And they, in turn, helped turn things around. Colorado went 4-8 in 2023, then went 9-4 last season.<\/p>\n

The Buffaloes were even on the verge of a Big 12 Championship Game appearance, missing out on the shot to vie for the conference title due to league tiebreaker rules. But it was a remarkable run.<\/p>\n

Shedeur Sanders helped engineer the turnaround on offense, with help from Travis Hunter. Sanders threw for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns, against 10 interceptions. He also ran for four scores.<\/p>\n

His passing ability helped open things up for Colorado. Sanders showed an uncanny ability to make plays when things broke down.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Travis Hunter was his favorite target at receiver. Hunter recorded 96 catches for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns during the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

He also doubled as a standout cornerback, ultimately winning the Heisman Trophy based on what he showed as a two-way star. Hunter recorded 23 tackles, 1.0 tackles for a loss, a forced fumble, three interceptions and 11 passes defended in 2024.<\/p>\n

Now both will be immortalized in Colorado football lore. As Colorado wrote with the announcement: \u201cNo. 2 & No. 12 \u2014 Officially Untouchable.\u201d<\/p>\n
