Travis Hunter has proven he can excel at both wide receiver and cornerback. 

The Colorado Buffaloes star has racked up 1,498 career receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. He also has seven interceptions at the collegiate level. 

Hunter is confident his overall body of work proves he should have the edge in this season’s Heisman voting. 

During a recent sitdown on former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin’s “Outta Pocket with RGIII” podcast, the Heisman hopeful laid out his case.

“I know I can win it, but I don’t know who’s there,” Hunter said. “I mean, y’all see Ashton Jeanty, but it’s not like we haven’t seen a running back that’s good. We haven’t seen a player that plays both ways, and I’m going to keep saying that.”

Hunter was referring to Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, who has rushed for 1,248 in the first six weeks of the season.

But Hunter argued that since he plays on both sides of the ball, it is much more challenging for him to have dominant stats in one particular category.

Hunter went on to describe his impact on offense and defense.

“(Jeanty) has, I think, 95 carries for 1,000 yards,” Hunter added. “If I had 95 catches, how much yards you think I’d have? If I had 95 targets on defense, what you think I’d have?. … So, I try to tell you, he’s got double the touches I’ve got on the offensive side of the ball, and I still have defensive stats that’s still crazy, and we’re only in Week 6. So, I’m not gonna argue about it.”

In addition to his impressive rushing total, Jeanty is averaging 9.9 yards per carry.

While all signs pointed to Hunter taking his talents to Florida, he chose Jackson State on signing day for the opportunity to play for NFL legend Deion Sanders.

LOVELAND, Colo. — A Greeley man who worked at several senior living and care facilities across the state was arrested for alleged sexual assault of an at-risk person.

The Loveland Police Department said its investigation began on July 27 after an officer was dispatched to help another agency at a Loveland care facility in the 2100 block of South Garfield Avenue. The officer learned that a staff member reportedly saw a 21-year-old caregiver “engaged in suspicious activity” with a 78-year-old resident.

The caregiver was fired from the facility shortly thereafter, according to Loveland PD. The facility was also “completely cooperative” throughout the investigation, according to the police department.

Investigators conducted several interviews over the course of the next several weeks, and the case was assigned to Loveland PD’s Criminal Investigation Division on Sept. 27.

Devon M. McCormick, 21, of Greeley was arrested on Oct. 3 for several offenses:

• Attempted sexual assault of an at-risk victim – victim is physically helpless (Class 3 felony)
• Attempted sexual assault of an at-risk victim – sexual intrusion or sexual penetration (Class 3 felony)
• Two counts of crimes against at-risk persons (Class 3 felony)
• Unlawful sexual contact – forced (Class 4 felony)
• Three counts of indecent exposure (misdemeanor)

McCormick was also arrested for two counts of criminal attempt, a sentence enhancer. A judge set his bond at $250,000.

Loveland PD said McCormick worked in the medical caregiving field for the past three years. He previously worked at the following facilities:

• The Gallery at Broomfield Assisted & Senior Living, located at 145 West 169th Avenue in Broomfield, from Aug. 20 through Oct. 2
• Pelican Pointe Health and Rehabilitation, located at 710 3rd Street in Windsor, from July 25, 2023, through December 22, 2023
• South Platte Health and Rehabilitation Center, located at 2200 Edison Street in Brush, from October 12, 2021, through the end of December 2021

The three facilities have been contacted by Loveland PD.
Detectives believe McCormick may have also helped family members with child and elder care across northern Colorado in recent years. Anyone who recognizes McCormick as a caregiver is asked to Loveland PD at 970-962-2032 or Larimer County Crime Stoppers at 970-221-6868.

A Colorado teacher was recently recognized for his dedication to his students, regardless of what their primary language is.

Oakley Van Oss works at Summit High School in Breckenridge and specializes in welding and construction. He teaches practical job skills with everyday applications to students in both English and Spanish.

For Van Oss, it doesn’t matter what you would expect a welder would look like, or what language they would speak.

“You probably notice that we have a lot of ladies in here and they are kicking some serious butt, doing a great job for us,” Van Oss said.

In his workshop, if you’re willing to put in the work, you’re a part of the team.

“He’s like, ‘You come here, you work hard, you clean up and you show up.’ And that’s how this class is. And it gives a completely different feeling to the rest of the classes here,” student Lucas Navratil said.

It’s that attitude, paired with the real world skills he’s teaching kids, that won the high school in Summit County $35,000 thanks to the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence. Van Oss also received $15,000.

Van Oss is one of around 900 teachers that applied around the country and 25 were selected.

His students know it’s well deserved.

“Nothing you do in this class will ever feel like a mistake,” Navratil said. “You’ll always be coached through it and he will always make you feel like there’s a way to fix it. He’ll tell you exactly how to fix it.”

Van Oss says the students in his class for whom English is a second language excel when they hear lessons in their own langauge.

“It’s a real honor to be able to teach these classes in Spanish. It teaches them some really unique vocab that they can use at on job sites,” Van Oss said. “It’s not like everything’s in English going over their heads, but they’re actually understanding. They’re learning along with everybody else.”

While the prize money is appreciated, it’s the everyday prize that really matters: building a better future for his students –one weld at a time.

“It makes me feel like I’m doing something that’s unique and that’s valued, that my larger community, the United States, is into what we’re doing here in this small community of Summit County. And I just have a lot of pride in what I do and who I teach,” Van Oss said.
