Respect
My thoughts exactly 💯
He's a wr tho
@@2guys1gun2 I mean he played both positions, but I'm pretty sure he's going to play at CB
@@2guys1gun2 He’s going to play DB
@@lahcsap he’s playing both
This kid don’t even know understand the magnitude of what he just did
Absolutely just changed history and how recruiting will be done forever 👏🏾👏🏾
How?
How any kids going too take 1.7 million and a reality tv show too up there brand
@@Anthony-wv9kd and the bad thing is he won't even be playing against the best
@@jasonespinoza2469 You seem to not be of our Culture so you wouldn’t understand
@@apextraining3939 what is ur culture if i may ask u highly regarded royalty?
I hope and pray this young man excels. He will now be part of HBCU history forever!
He will be there for one year max, this was all for the money. He basically disrespected hbcu's and showed everyone it's all about the money, instead of the process of going to college being about an EDUCATION!!!
@@tyler2850 wtf are you talking about
@@tyler2850 the athletes don’t go for education, the same way they didn’t get the offer for their grades but their talent on the field.
@@tyler2850 didn’t you hear what Jimbo Fisher said after he got his NIL deal? “This has been happening for years, it’s just legal now”.
@@tyler2850 nil's been a thing since eternity lol. It's just some stuff wasn't as legal as it is now.
He's going in the history books for that decision for sure.
@@Ramjambam11 i don't think he is leaving anytime soon to coach that is. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes over a conference or become an owner of a team.
True about Jackson State University: ruclips.net/video/J-hYnplbuzQ/видео.html
Choosing and representing our own schools should be norm. Almost 2022 and we still don’t get it
The way he threw the 1st hat on the ground shows his character. His personality shows how immature and how uneducated he is. Quite disturbing. Clearly you can say look at his family and the community he comes from. But there are so many like him signing on and so many people expecting big things from people like him. Total waste of time
@@robe3883 imagine being a grown ass man complaining about how he threw a hat. You lowkey mad he went to a hbcu
I want this same crowd at all my major life events
Funeral: AHHHHHHHHHHH 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@Jayy M sorry your English bad
@@jessemeermann860 you can’t even get that reception at your funeral dude. Stop playing.
As a graduate of Mississippi Valley State University and HBCU lover..... I'm elated that this young man chose to attend a HBCU!!!! Hopefully he has started a trend for other top recruits and high school player's.
I agree also! Great day for HBCU!!!!
He definitely started a trend!
Yeah that’s not gonna happen but one can dream Ig
Yeah I'm sure the money didn't play apart lol he cares so much he'll skip town after a year.
@@williamsnike452 exactly If that 7 figure NIL deal rumor turns out to be true then College football is gonna be in shambles soon.
As a proud alumni of THEE Jackson State University, i cant' tell you how proud I am of this young man, Coach Prime, and the entire athletic program. When coach was hired they asked if he was worried about the recruiting wars with Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and other big programs. He said "Nope...They need to be worried about me!" This is only the beginning!
Facts ^^^^^^
Where are Sanders and Hunter now? LMFAO!
@@encycl07pedia- I know right! I thought he was in it for the long haul. Oh well. It was a fun ride though.
This is HUGE. Coach prime has these kids believing. Good luck young man ….light it up!!!
This was dope , he meant this shit fr.. he is the one LETS GOO this proud moment for the black community man y’all just don’t know
Very proud
Ong ✊🏾
Deion Sanders said it already. You can get the QB's at the Big Schools but he can't win by himself. You've got to go to the neighborhoods where the rest of your team resides. That's why your recruiters are important. Congrats to this Young Man who is going to be surrounded by Great Men challenging and mentoring him.
Steve mcnair played at Alcorn. During mcnairs college days I would put him up against any college qb from any school and he would beat them
I get his point but football is not even like that. so spread out demographic wise even socioeconomically. Every team has its rich kids, its not so fortunate and those in between of all races. Definitely have to be able to recruit all backgrounds, But to suggest your skill position guys are all from the same kind of neighborhoods is a tad misleading, I get it though Deion
@@wasabiwasabi9991 Football players are about 70% Black and some of them come from the roughest sides of town. Yet, the recruiters are not. That's why he told California schools to call Snoop. He's already in CA and knows where the kids are. But, you're free to scoff at his comment. They don't have to kneel anymore.
Travis will be at Jackson for one year max. As soon as deion leaves he will leave as well. Basically sending Jackson back to the basement, which is sad. The ONLY REASON Travis went there was because barstool wrote him a HUGE check. Without the millions he's playing for a real school. This kid is going to be playing against kids that couldn't cut it in the big league.
And throwing the hats of the other schools was very disrespectful. No class
@@tyler2850 There is no money here to recruit athletes. I live in Jackson and it's majority Black. Median HOUSEHOLD salary here is 38k a year. He came on his own free will. I don't care if he transfers as long as he goes to an HBCU....and graduates.
As a Black man whose family members went to HBCUS, This is literally history we have watched! This is so powerful I don’t know how to put it in words! It’s a beautiful thing to see…now we just need more of our people to follow and bring the legacy back to HBCU football!
it’ll be a slow process but I don’t think it will ever be at a very high level again.
This is awesome! Honestly, coach prime series brought it to my attention and understand more the culture. Big signing which can help other colleges within the program help follow as well. Eddie George is a HC as well, that’s dope too
It's about the fucking money lol
I’m British. Is that some sort of education for blacks? Seems racist to me. We are one..
powerful?hahahahahaha why do black people exaggerate things? this will be a moot point come next year.
It's beautiful how this all worked out for the best.
HBCU int the House. Welcome young man. From long Heritage you decided to go the road less traveled to make a difference for those who will come after you. I myself is from Atlanta and went to an HBCU... The time is now for Black Love for one another and you have lit one of the FLAMES!... Congrats........ See you when you face my Bulldongs in the FALL... Hats off to you SIr
OH… MY… GOD… THIS WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR YEARS TO COME AS THE MOMENT WHEN HBCU’S GAINED THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE… GOOD LUCK TRAVIS HUNTER🙏
Its also gonna segregate the sport/. love that people endorse segregation these days. 1950 is COMING BACK!
@@Islanddreaming-hq4hr go to hell u do know plenty white folks go to hbcus and they go for free on minority scholarship don’t confuse how we roll with how y’all racist tails roll…
@@Islanddreaming-hq4hr lmao classic racial illiteracy I’ll leave it to Anna-Maria on this one…
@@Islanddreaming-hq4hr white people are hateful now. Even your kids are full blown racist. We shouldn't have to deal with u all when we don't have to. You people won't even change the racist dorm names
So what you’re saying is, they bought their respect. Bit ignorant innit?
Awesome job young man, you will learn so much about life from a great coach, he's a relatable person on so many levels. Real-life and Football, you will be blessed with a ton of knowledge on and off the field. So it all up like a sponge. You're truly blessed.
I wish this kid nothing but success. I will follow him wherever he goes…
100% Respect! Kid was probably tired of seeing nothing but the same schools in his face and on TV generating millions. He changed the narrative and greenlit HBCU Jackson State University #gamechamger #greatjobcoachneondeion
He's going to learn from the best to ever do it!
Congrats young brotha . Your the 1st piece towards a new era in college football recruiting.
I have kept up with Travis Hunter quite a bit here lately and I gotta say this is history in the making what he just did. he could have went to 3 big name colleges. Auburn Georgia and Florida State are all big names but he chose to do something different and shock the world by picking a HBCU to further his football career and get his education. I absolutely love his decision and respect it so much and he gets to play for a legend on Deion Sanders!!!!!!! it doesn't get any better than that. I love it when someone dares to be different or does something different. no one probably expected Travis Hunter to do this. wonderful choice young man and way to go playing to the beat of your own drum!!!!!! best of luck to you and I cannot wait to see you play in the pro's one day!!!!!! cause Mark my words. this kid is gonna be an excellent pro player. he will make it to the NFL. he has the work ethic and the drive to make it happen!!!!!!!
He's no different than any other selfish showboat.
Bro as an ex athlete you just turnt me UP TO DA MAXX!!!! I’m so happy and grateful to see this in my lifetime!!!! I’m finna hit the gym just to get that rush back!
I always felt that one day our best will come back home to HBCUs! Salute to this young brotha and kudos to Coach Prime! LEGGO TRAVIS!
It’s happening!!! Our generation is changing things. Welcome to the HBCU Experience!
This young man will go down in history as THE CORNERSTONE of the domino effect. HBCU's are about to start getting top black athletes from all over the country!!!
God damn, does Deion sanders ever miss? Now he is taking over college football.
HBCU... NICE....TREND SETTING..
thats also the only school he could go to and get 1.5 million before even playing😂
Its over fort he NCAA. It will basically be HBCU colleges versus white teams. Gonna segregate the sport. Not that im against it.
@@crbuck.18 He could have gotten that at any school. Why lie?? Why go to a school and live in a racist dorm name or be around racist when they don't have too. All black athletes should do this
@@Islanddreaming-hq4hr define “white teams”?
Im white and I wish I coulda gone to an HBCU the environment looks amazing and they can do a lot for these young athletes that some of the top schools in the country cant. GREAT CHOICE BRO!!
This is something out of a movie. Probably the most hype I’ve ever gotten from a commitment video
As a life long FSU fan all I gotta say is….
YES!! 🙌 Go Prime!!! Go Travis!!! HBCU’s FTW! ✊
So life long that he messed up are chances of a bowl game I mean this guy is franchise changing you can’t make tweets about being apart of nole nation and do this to us man Sam Howell 2.0
I have to give you respect. The fact that you are not mad that travis chose jackson state over FSU says a lot about your character in a good way. It's great when you fans from other teams are still supportive of kids going to other schools instead of the one they are fans of
@@markbrown8141 💯 man, preciate that. I mean u can’t blame him wanting to play for a legend at his own position, with connections to the pros on top of that. Tbh I wouldn’t mind seeing all the top talent go to hbcu’s, that would be groundbreaking. Could you imagine all that bowl money going to those schools and their respective programs (science, tech, agriculture etc etc) As far as fsu, I didn’t mind him trolling us with the tweets and the hat throw lol 😂 After the last few rough seasons these fans are still spoiled and entitled. This whole situation just showed their hand once again. I wouldn’t doubt some of that played a bit of a role in his decision, seeing that he grew up up the road from fsu and it’s fan base.
He's a traitor just like Sanders. They're both at Colorado now. I guess that's why black kids don't know their fathers: no loyalty or honor. *Change the world!* What a joke.
This was the best decision Travis ever made
they not gone ever give prime his credit but this was a match made in heaven. They both needed each other fr, I love their relationship.
I Love this Dude. I wish him the best on his journey to greatness.
One of the biggest statement made in a long time ✍🏾 Congrats Trav

This video is so epic. Will be watched for years to come.
Florida state students and alumni are attacking this 17 yo KID already smh..hope this shows him and other top recruit black athletes that these big name colleges only love you if you benefit them. Come on home Yung bull!!
You knew they would. They have to attack him. They don’t like what this portends for the big conferences.
Anyone who has been awake for decades knows these big name universities look at college athletes as cheap labor; none of these big name believe education should be prioritized over whether a young man helps his school make money.
@@dchenkin02 This is football. Do you really think getting educated is a priority for these kids. They are looking for the best path to the NFL. Let's keep it real. The coaches at all levels are in some ways low-lifes also. Yes, they want the money too at the expense of the kids. Just look at the recent movement of power 5 coaches. NIL at least gives some avenue to the kids to cash in since the schools are making money hand over fist. It's business as usual and nothing is going to change. Each party has chosen this life. We will know in one or two years if his decision was correct. Believe you me, ESPN will follow this up. If JSU stinks next year, Prime leaves for the FBS, (God forbid) Travis gets hurt, or Travis enters the portal after one year, then everyone will come out of the corner like roaches saying, "I told you so...". Note: FBS has a play-off system and it over shadows everything in college football these days. Can you name the last the FCS champions? And JSU doesn't even compete in the FCS playoffs. I wonder want Prime said to Travis and his family to close the deal. Props to him for getting it done .

Salute to this young king 👑 🤴🏿

You won't regret it. HBCU's are a special kind of place. Welcome to the HBCU family!
Not anymore
Too many people knocking his decision. I understand his logic; I want to be personally coached by the greatest CB to play the game.
He got 2 million to go to JSU lol, coaching had nothing to do with it. Welcome to the NIL Era
And he’ll start week one and be the focus of the offense. Great players make it to the league either way so why go to a big school with a chance to be outshined?
@@trevor3575 horrible mentality but somehow that’s facts
@@thenameisyosh lol you must not know college athletics. All the big schools used money under the table from alumni, now everyone has a shot. Every year there were scandals from players

Same
Happy for you Travis, you gon make it to the top💯

Congratulations young Man!
It takes courage to make that decision knowing all eyes will be on you.

I don't even watch football like that but this some historical ish right here! Thank him! I'm watching now!
Shit gave me chills congratulations young man 💯
Crying real tears!!! HBCU PROUD✊🏾✊🏾💪🏽💪🏽
This young king made his decision. Go Tigers 🐅
So happy for this kid 💯
Being a proud “Jacktownian”, Godspeed young man, Godspeed.
Congrats SWAC fam!
I believe this kid understands the magnitude of his decision. He MADE history. In my opinion this kid chose to be part of something bigger than him and football by joining what COACH Sanders and others including himself are trying to lay foundation to. Congratulations Mr. Hunter. May your work inspire others to do the same. God Bless.
I told ppl he had too much swag for FSU... You made the right choice my guy.
You out your rabbit a** mind. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.
The real reason he didn’t choose Florida State because Deion sanders recruited him to Jackson State
REAL TALK YOUNG MAN!!!! STAND ON IT!!!!!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Say what y’all want about us here in Jackson….but the south shall rise again….and the south got something to say!!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
"the south shall rise again" that ain't it bro lol
Wrong slogan 🤣
CHILLS still!!! Go Travis!
Fucking Amazing you don't need Power 5 Sec ect .. to make it stay where your cherished appreciated 👍🏾 That was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 my guy 😀 I'm proud of you. Your leading the wave of HBCU Culture.
Nobody can compete with ancestry choose your DNA 🧬 first👍🏾
He went there for the money 💰 but what ever
Does it matter that is one of the worst schools in the country?
You do know he went there for money right
@@Anthony-wv9kd - how many millions did he get?
@@glockman9c he got 1.7 million and a reality show
Welcome to the Family! JSU ALUM! THEE I LOVE ❤️
I’m very happy to see this. College football has always resisted paying the players but I think this will make them start paying players. When 100 million dollar football facilities aren’t enough anymore the only thing left for PWI’s to do is start handing out bags of money and outbid the HBCU’s. 💰💰💰
Absolutely amazing. Best wishes.
For this black young man to toss those hats in the ground is so acceptable 🙌🏾 ✊🏾
No, it's completely tacky...and the fact that anyone thinks it's acceptable behavior represent the screwed up mentality in our society these days. He had every right to choose whatever college he felt was best for his future, but he was disrespectful to the others with his behavior. Nothing to applaud here.
Wow mad respect for following your OWN heart and your own mind and going where YOU want to go. This is Awesome. I'm late to the party, but glad to be here.
Yes young man!!!!
Welcome aboard Travis!!!💯💯💯💯💙💙💙💙💙💙
If JSU continue to get recruits like this guy, other SWAC football teams won't even have a chance.
JSU still has bans on scholarships that's why they go after transfers or decommits
Yep and now he’s with Colorado.. We love you Travis!! ❤🦬💪 Sko Buffs
Damn I know them recruits wanna drop diss tracks over how he threw those hats Lmfaoooooo
Prime time deion sanders legend recruits the best player in high school travis hunter and outduels his alma mater fsu awesome history has been made in college football recruiting a gamechanger woooooow 👏
This is a huge step for HBCUs but the final step will be the “tv contract” that’s where the big money is and that will ultimately level the playing field across college football.
Facts. I’m not too sure white media will allow HBCU to ever scratch the surface of these major schools but this is definitely a stepping stone in the right direction.
I don’t even like football be I’m so proud of what he just did he changed the game 🙌🙌🙌
TUSKEGEE IN THE BUILDING ✊🏾. Respect bro💯
Travis I got a call this morning you chose the right college over another! I’m so proud of you these places create revenue off us OFF our talents! Stay strong and Black FIND A BLACK QUEEN AND BUILD YOUR EMPIRE NOW TRAVIS . Words from the sprits
So proud of him for choosing a HBCU !! Starve the Europeans system by Doing great within our communities! Keep it up!

I hope top recruits go to hbcu schools not just power 5 schools division 1 schools all schools and all schools are unique and beautiful way to go travis hunter coach prime time legend deion sanders 👏
This is dope. The outrage by some of yall is very telling. Its called "building" a program. Ofc JSU doesn't have the amenities of a FSU, UGA, etc, but if they don't make moves of this caliber, how will they ever get there? Go Prime, Go Trav, Go JSU, Go SWAC!
Congratulations big man push that grind to the top💪
Luv it! ZAAA-OOO! Y'all that are hating on his decision: Go actually research NFL rosters 40% of the rosters have players that did NOT go to POWER 5 schools...dont let mainstream media fool you...the people (NFL Scouts) that need to see the talent always know exactly where it is...and the funny thing is many of the 3, 4 and 5 stars who choose Power 5 schools out of high school rarely ever finish at the Power 5 school and many don't even graduate from these schools, not to mention they are just a number in huge classes and the professors don't even know who they are, so what is so special about Power 5 schools again? Many Black Athletes that go to Power 5 schools end up getting hurt and are not even allowed to finish their degree on scholarship and end up back home with their families, frustrated and depressed...seen this too many times...Yall need to Stop the hating and Celebrate this young king's vision and trust that he, his family, his village, and Coach Prime have laid out a plan for him to maximize his mental and athletic genius, regardless of if he makes it to the NFL or becomes an entrepreneur, educator, engineer or whatever he envisions for his future...smdh
This is the era of the NIL, Hes getting 2 mil. Lol

We will overcome someday this is part of MLKs dream in the flesh and since'' we all can't just get along '' there's always another door to open and to run though.. Coach Prime was already a living legendary figure but this coup it just made him in his own HBCU Mt Rushmore !!
Overcome what?
isn’t an HBCU kind of going against MLK in a way. Why does it have to be separate? (that is a legitimate question not to start some mean spirited debate)

I'm sure Travis is a good young man, but we adults should be ashamed of ourselves for putting things like this up for the world to see, and then complain because this younger generation gets too cocky and ends up messing up their life. I hope Travis keeps his head on straight, and has a long and successful college and pro career.
it's for dramatic affect lol relax
Looking back as an FSU fan I’m sorry for cussing you lol. You made the best decision for you my man. I’m supporting you!
That was amazing!!!!
The way he did this was dope asf boy 🕺
The era of the NIL, Man said give me the bag and I'll go there lol. Wasn't a trend move he followed the money, money talks
Yeah or maybe, just maybe, he wanted the opportunity to be coached by the greatest CB in the history of the game? Ever think abt that?
He would be payed so much more at Florida state
You this HBCU’s have more money to get recruits than FSU????? You’re crazy lol
@@Ryan-gt2hnreally? I don’t think so
We just witnessed the beginning of a future Hollywood movie. Good luck to this young man I’ll be watching !

So proud of this guy 💯
That's how you give announcements now? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
