Travis Hunter has been taken to a local hospital in Boulder for further evaluation, presumably stemming from the questionable hit he took in the first half from Colorado State defender Henry Blackburn.

Multiple reports from the game, including from ESPN during the broadcast, stated the Colorado star had been ruled out for the remainder of the game and taken away from the stadium.

The hit in question came in the first quarter, when Hunter and the Buffs were on offense. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders tried to link up with hunter down the left sideline, but sailed a pass out of bounds. With the ball already bouncing on the field several yards away from Hunter, Blackburn drilled Hunter in the midsection.

The incident drew a flag with Sanders running to the defense of Hunter and exchanging words with Blackburn. The defensive back for the Rams was not ejected.

Hunter has been a crucial piece of the Buffaloes’ resurgent season.

He plays both ways for CU — at wideout on offense and at defensive back on the other side. In the opener against TCU, he became the first FBS player in two decades to have 100 yards and an interception in the same game.

Last week against Nebraska, he played 68 snaps on offense and 57 snaps on defense.

Hunter had been held in check before exiting Saturday’s game. He left with two catches for 21 yards and two tackles.
