Really, Travis Hunter is not a finalist for the Jim Thorpe award?

This is the award for best DB in college football. How is he not at least a finalist?

They took the best DBs that were also on great teams
Downs and Starks are as, if not more, deserving
Hunter probably should have been on over Barron but all four are great DBs

I'm not saying he's the best but certainly deserving of being a finalist.

I get that--and I think he should have been too. There's just 4 top-tier DBs this year

Coach Prime called the voters “ignorant.”

I haven’t watched him enough to know if he’s a Top 4 DB in the nation.
But that facts that he’s a very good receiver and he plays both D and O can’t factor into this award. This is about only his play as a DB.

He's considered a top 5 NFL pick for his Corner play.

That’s a joke.

Deserving people are left off of these award lists every year. No different with Hunter, just a lot more begging from the coach.
