“Overhyped Player”: Fans Pick Oklahoma Star to Sideline Travis Hunter For Major Feat Despite Quinn Ewers’ Endorsement

The anticipation surrounding WR/CB Travis Hunter’s potential inclusion on the NCAA College Football 25 cover has sparked excitement among the Buffaloes fans. Seeing their beloved two-way star featured prominently on the non-deluxe cover alongside Texas Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers and Michigan RB Donovan Edwards, Hunter’s latest milestone as a non-QB player is a breakthrough moment for fans! However, not everyone shares the same sentiment, particularly regarding his potential overall ranking. While some may accept his presence on the non-deluxe cover, they are hesitant to envision him as the No. 1 in overall rankings.

When asked, Hunter’s fellow cover athlete, Texas QB Quinn Ewers added fuel to the speculation as he mentioned, “I am not sure if they’re gonna put anyone at 99 [overall], but if they do, I think he’ll be closest to that,” regarding Hunter’s potential ranking in College Football 25.

Amidst these discussions, when Barstool Big12 predicted Oklahoma star RB Ollie Gordon to top the rankings of CF25 with an OVR of 99, it led to backlash from the CF community who brutally dismissed Hunter supporters’ speculations. As PFF posted Ewers’ comment with a speculative caption, “Should Travis Hunter be the highest rated player in NCAA 25?” further fueling the debate, anti-fans vehemently rejected the idea, with one user named SullyFootball, declaring Hunter as “the most overhyped player in CFB history.”
