Plyler on Hunter: "He is another example of just a football player. He has great football speed. On film in the state championship game as junior, he runs down All American cornerback Gary Gray that signed with Notre Dame time after time. He has unbelievable closing speed. One of the best edge rushers I have seen. He will have to make an adjustment and learn how to play in space but once he does that the sky is the limit."
