Travis Hunter: Nation’s No. 1 recruit, 5-star prospect, makes shocking signing day flip from FSU

Travis Hunter shocked the college football world Wednesday. The nation’s No. 1 prospect in the class of 2022 grew up a Florida State fan and committed to the Seminoles on March 3, 2020. On the first day of the Early Signing Period, however, Hunter announced he’s headed to Jackson State, the HBCU program in the FCS ranks.

Hunter, who plays for Collins Hill in Georgia, is a phenomenal talent at both wide receiver and defensive back. The 247Sports Composite rates Hunter a 5-star cornerback and the No. 1 player overall in this recruiting class.

While committed to FSU, Hunter took visits to Georgia on Oct. 2 and Oct. 16 to see the Bulldogs in action.

On Tuesday, Sanders teased a signing day shocker.
