Honors & awards
- 2023 Paul Hornung Award
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Instinctive, adept at reading routes and anticipating throws, and strong in zone coverage.
- Hunter has the quick feet and loose hips to line up in press, where Hunter has the size and strength to get physical, and then the quick feet to mirror.
- He can flip his hips and run, with good top-end speed and the length to make plays on the ball.
- Shows good instincts when facing the action in zone coverage, and he has solid ball skills.
- Has the recovery speed to make up for mistakes early in the down. Hunter tracks the ball well downfield and has the ball skills and easy leaping ability to high-point the ball and come down with the interception.
- Fluid mover with decent speed and his length allows him to cover effectively downfield
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Feet aren’t ideal, as Hunter gets sloppy in his backpedal and can be sluggish when transitioning to close on the ball.
- At this point, he can get outmuscled. Hunter also might be susceptible to catch and- run plays. He’ll give effort in run support, but he’s going to struggle to get off blocks against physical outside receivers.
- Susceptible to the big plays as a gambler at the catch point and as a catch-and-run victim. He’s also too reluctant to come up and make hits in run support, often focusing on the strip more than the tackle.
