Travis Hunter seen on IG story making up with Henry Blackburn following late hit

Published:
Travis Hunter will miss this weekend’s game against USC following a blowout loss at the hands of Oregon last week.
The Colorado WR/DB will miss a few weeks with a lacerated liver he suffered in the Buffs’ win over Colorado State in Week 3. Hunter left the game after being hit by Colorado State DB Henry Blackburn well after the whistle had sounded.
In the weeks since, Blackburn has received death threats against himself and his family, and as you can well imagine the internet warriors have been after him in full force despite Colorado HC Deion Sanders and Hunter himself publicly forgiving Blackburn for simply “playing the game.”
This past week Hunter went a step further. He was seen in an Instagram video connecting with Blackburn, and it seems the 2 are on good terms from the video. Check it out below:
Great to see: Colorado’s Travis Hunter and Colorado State’s Henry Blackburn met and and hung out to show fans they’re good after Blackburn received death threats from people following his hit on Hunter ?
Hopefully this stops the death threats to Blackburn and his family, that… https://t.co/uGQJ7nmBoI pic.twitter.com/e7n3KVP9Dc

Cool to see.
Hunter has pleaded with Colorado to let him play Saturday as he did last week against Oregon, but Sanders has refused. We’ll see Hunter again this season, but as of now no specific return date has been given by Colorado.
The Buffs are back in action this week as they take on No. 8 USC in Boulder. The game is set to kick at Noon and will be aired on FOX.
