Hunter announced his commitment during a ceremony at Collins High School in Suwanee, Ga. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound wide receiver/cornerback had Florida State, Auburn and Georgia hats in front of him, tossing all of them aside before revealing his Jackson State shirt and sporting a “J” hat thrown by his mother.

Along with his college commitment, Hunter reportedly has a million-dollar NIL deal in the works with Barstool Sports, a company Sanders joined in 2020.
Hunter is the first five-star prospect to join an FCS school since ESPN started its player ranking in 2006.
