The Gamecocks beat out Virginia Tech to land Hunter. What ultimately put things over the top was the camaraderie of the 2024 class. Hunter mentioned his bond with fellow members of his class in an interview with our very own Wes Mitchell.

It was also Special Teams Coordinator Pete Lembo who pushed for Hunter. Lembo told him that he could use him on all units. Expect to see Hunter involved on special teams to some capacity next season.

Why South Carolina? “They made me feel at home, really,” Hunter said. “That’s the place where I felt most comfortable. Every time I was there, they always asked how I was and how my family’s been. It’s close to home so all my parents and family can come watch me play, so it was a great decision for me.”
