He proves to have the ability to cover ground quickly, as he possesses uncanny agility for a 2022 LB recruit and never ceases from keeping his feet moving to finish tackles. I like the way he keeps his arms extended when engaging with O-linemen out of the edge and Janik is able to detach quickly to swarm to the football and make the tackle.

When projecting his ability at the next level, I believe Hunter will make a great SS/OLB with his disruptive style of play and overall instincts in pass coverage. He demonstrates very sound tackling technique and plays with a very high motor, when attacking the football and takes great pursuit angles when tracking down ball carriers.
