Travis Hunter Stuns Personal Coach After Casually Breezing Through a Workout That Stresses Out “Olympic Level Sprinters”

Travis Hunter continues to defy athletic logic. After dominating college football as a two-way star, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner is now breezing through Olympic-level training sessions like a jog in the park. His trainer, Greg Sholars, who has worked with elite sprinters, was left stunned by how effortlessly Hunter crushed a routine that leaves world-class athletes exhausted.

In his latest YouTube video, the Buffs sensation was seen training at Texas’ AP ranch on a chilly Friday morning. Dressed in winter gear, Hunter was ready to crush a workout designed to push elite athletes to their limits.

Greg instructed Hunter to sprint to a green cone placed at the end of an inclined dirt road. The Buffs star was then asked to walk back down to another designated cone, sprint again, and then jog back down — all part of two brutal sets of six reps.

Surprisingly, the two-way star did not show any visible signs of tiredness. He wasn’t even panting that hard, much to the shock of his coach. “You know the crazy thing about it is? You have to remember that he ain’t just normal,” Sholars said, watching Hunter finish the drill with ease.

Apart from being a coach, Sholars was also a three-time national champion sprinter and a TCU Hall of Famer. The comment, coming from someone of his stature is indeed a testament to Hunter’s physical potential.

“I have to remind myself that you are not normal because, you know, I’ve done the same workout with Olympic-level sprinters and they be like dying… and you just casually going through it,” added Sholars.

Hunter, of course, took it all in his stride — literally. Putting humor aside, it’s truly impressive how much of an outlier the Heisman winner appears to be among his peers.

After a dominant season that saw him win almost every college football honor from the Heisman to the Chuck Bednarik award, his latest display of freakish athleticism only adds to the hype around him. As far as the 2025 NFL Draft is concerned, the two-way star is widely projected to be a top-five pick, with the New England Patriots being the bookmakers’ favorite landing spot for him.

Regardless of where he lands, Hunter is certainly bound to steal the show, just like he did in CFB last season by leading the Big 12 in receptions (96) and receiving touchdowns (15) while recording 11 passes defended and four interceptions.

When you consider that Hunter is making Olympic-level workouts look pedestrian, you may wonder what will happen when he takes the field in the NFL. Well, in a few months, we will find out for sure.
