On the field, Hunter is anticipated to continue his stellar performance next season, despite a brief setback due to injury sustained from a late hit in a game against Colorado State last year. Despite this, Hunter consistently demonstrated his prowess on both offense and defense, reinforcing his status as one of the sport’s elite players.
In following the footsteps of his mentor and head coach, Deion Sanders, who excelled in multiple positions and sports, Hunter exhibits versatility and skill rarely seen in one athlete. While another sport may not be in Hunter’s future, his potential as a two-way player remains boundless, provided he maintains his health and continues to excel.
His ability to excel as both a wide receiver and cornerback not only sets him apart but also enabled him to make a generous gesture towards his mother, showcasing both his talent on the field and his character off it.
