On Saturday, the Colorado Buffalos and UCF Knights will face off in a highly anticipated matchup. Colorado has a big task ahead of itself as UCF is 3-0, and it’s obvious players seem determined to lock in when you see what Travis Hunter did to Cam Newton.
While warming up, Newton is seen on the sidelines trying to greet the two-way star before Hunter turns away and shoos him away. It makes for a pretty embarrassing situation, as Newton just stands there confused.
Cam tried again to get Hunter’s attention, but he would not budge and continued warming up like nothing was happening.

Of course, Hunter is just 21 years old, which means Newton was still in his prime and lighting up the league when Travis was still a young kid.
Hunter’s action can be attributed to either not wanting to get distracted before the game or to not being a fan of Newton, who still has a strong media presence despite recently announcing his retirement.
As a wide receiver, Hunter has accumulated 37 receptions, 472 yards, and five touchdowns. On the defensive side, he has two pass deflections, one tackle-for-loss, and one interception.
Those numbers must be difficult to achieve if you don’t focus all your attention on the game and your game plan.

Earlier this week, Richard Sherman called Hunter’s receiving skills “bland” and “boring.” Hunter responded on his Instagram story, “Stop speaking on me; let me play football. “
It seems as though he has no problem telling off these former players, no matter how great they were.
