Draft Profile: Bio
Nyziah Hunter from Salinas High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Hunter opted to join California.In 2024 as a freshman Hunter saw action in 4 games for the Golden Bears as he made 14 receptions for 182 yards for an average of 13.0 yards per reception, with 4 TDs, and an elite QB rating when targeted of 143.0.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed.
- Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
- Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field.
- Solidly built with good overall size and bulk - has long arms and does a nice job extending to create a large catching radius.
- Hunter is quicker than fast and lacks elite wheels to simply blow by defenders, but Hunter has good football speed.
- Hunter also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. A violent runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, he has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage once he’s broken the first tackle.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He's an unpolished pass catcher who needs to work on the little things but offers immediate value as an impact return man.
- He’s not going to threaten to take the top off of a defense.
- Comes off the snap high and upright, and doesn't get to top speed quickly. Not sudden or elusive.
