Coach Chris Wood:

“I think the biggest thing he brings to the table is his productivity at the position. He’s a big-bodied kid, physical, goes and he catches the ball with his hands. Great route runner, always creates separation and goes and gets the ball. He doesn't use his body to bring it in, but goes and attacks with his hands. Knows how to block and leverage routes.

“If you’re looking for a track guy, Hunter is probably not that type of guy for you. If you’re looking for a football player who knows how to play the game like Drew Morgan did for the university, I think Hunter is all about that.”
