Travis Hunter wants to add to his list of accomplishments next season. The Colorado Buffaloes two-way start is looking to add kicking duties to his snap count at least once.

While making an appearance in a recent video with YouTuber Donald De La Haye AKA Deestroying, Hunter was challenged to boot a PAT in 2024. He responded by saying he would love the opportunity to make it happen.

“Next year that’s the goal, man,” Hunter said on CU’s practice field

De La Haye, who signed with the UFL’s San Antonio Brahmas in January, was giving Hunter a few tips on how to kick effectively. The two tried to get it down to a science with the Buffs star needing a bit more lift on the ball. 

Hunter appeared in nine games on both sides of the ball for the Buffaloes in 2023. He was named the Paul Hornung Award winner, despite missing three games due to a lacerated liver. “Saucy-T” recorded 57 catches for 721 yards and five touchdowns on offense while also adding 31 tackles, five PDUs and three INTs as a defender.

There is a strong sense Hunter will be one of the top ten picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s unlikely he’ll play on both sides of the ball at the next level. For now, Hunter is still soaking up the spotlight before what’s projected as his final season in Boulder.

At this point, we’ll have to wait and see if Hunter’s request to kick will be granted by Coach Prime and his staff. Even on a temporary or emergency basis, knowing he can do it would add another dimension to his game.   

Two people were injured in a shooting outside a Walgreens in Old Colorado City, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

The shooting, initially reported as an active shooter situation, occurred after an argument between the two people, according to an X post by the department.

At 1:30 p.m. Sunday, the Colorado Springs Police Department received a call about an active shooter at a Walgreens in the 3100 block of West Colorado Avenue, according to the department.

When officers arrived, they found one person with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound in front of the Walgreens. Several people reported that a possible suspect was still in the store. Officers requested people in nearby businesses to shelter in place and called for the tactical unit. Officers then entered the store and escorted a woman, who was sheltering in place, to safety, according to the post.

The Tactical Enforcement Unit and police officers searched the store and did not find the suspect. Around the same time, a second person with a gunshot wound arrived at a local hospital, the post states.

The CSPD later determined that the shooting occurred after an argument between the two injured individuals and was not an active shooter situation, according to the department.

The incident is under investigation by the CSPD assault unit.

Two people aboard a small plane were injured Sunday morning when their aircraft made an emergency landing near Interstate 25 and the town of Larkspur.

The pilot apparently attempted to land on the interstate, per preliminary information gathered at the scene. But the plane struck a traffic sign in the center median, “causing the plane to veer off to the east and crash,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office explained in a social media post. 

Copter4 found the damaged sign and a likely piece of plane debris several hundred yards north of where the plane stopped.

A photo from the scene shows the underside of the plane, indicating it came to rest on its roof. The landing gear are protruding from thick brush. 

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane is a twin-engine Tecnam P2006T.    

A spokesperson with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Dep. Cocha Heyden, said the plane came down just east of the highway at mile marker 173. Radio traffic from the scene, plus live images from Colorado Department of Transportation’s highway cameras, suggests the right two lanes of I-25 are closed where Spruce Mountain Road’s on-ramp joins northbound highway traffic. Vehicles are slowly moving past the plane crash scene using only one lane, the express lane. Other cameras to the south of the scene show extensive northbound backup on the highway.  

The plane evidently landed in the East Plum Creek drainage immediately east of I-25. It’s not known yet if the plane itself landed in water, but fire department personnel waded through waist-deep water to get to the two injured people.

The crash was reported just before 8 a.m., according to DCSO’s Heyden.

Two patients from the plane were transported by ambulance from the location. There has been no report from the scene about the extent of their injuries. 

The Colorado State Patrol’s hazardous materials (HAZMAT) unit is handling cleanup of fuel that has leaked from the plane. Unconfirmed radio traffic from the scene indicates 30-40 gallons of unleaded fuel have leaked from the plane; CSP’s HAZMAT crew is attempting to contain the fuel with booms on the water’s surface.

The Perry Park Airport, a small private landing strip, is located immediately west of I-25 at the crash location. It is not known at this time if the crashed plane departed or was attempting to land there.

Local authorities say federal investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration will later announce their conclusions about the cause of the accident.
