Travis Hunter’s star-studded season continues off the field as well as he continues to sign NIL deals. The most recent with one of his favorite brands, Squishmallows.
“I know you’ve seen me and my Squishmallows, now is the chance to get yours,” Hunter said, via On3. “This Saturday at Fan Fest at Folsom Field. It starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m.”
Apparently, Hunter would be seen with a ton of Squishmallows on his bed while he’s streaming on Twitch, playing video games.
They’re essentially stuffed animals mixed with a pillow.
Hunter has plenty of sponsorships and deal with various companies including American Eagle Apparel, Celsius and Michael Strahan Brand shaving company.
The two-way star has created quite the following on social media with 1.2 million followers on Instagram alone.
It’s evened out with his ability on the gridiron.
“The kid is a phenomenal player,” Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said on the CBS Colorado show recently. “I never worry about whether he’s going to show up to play.”
Even when Hunter was returning from a lacerated liver, Sanders said he was never worried about Hunter, even talking about how rare of a player he is.
He appears to continue his success on both sides of the ball.
