Kelvin Hunter brings speed, safety versatility, and steady special-teams value for South Carolina
In 2025, Kelvin Hunter settled into a reserve role at safety for South Carolina, appearing in 11 games and finishing with 7 tackles and a half tackle for loss after logging 6 tackles as a true freshman in 2024. His calling card is range and burst: EA’s 2026 ratings give him a 92 acceleration, 89 speed, and 81 pursuit, which matches the profile of a defensive back who can close space fast and help on special teams. He looks like a useful depth piece and developmental fit for a team that wants athletic, assignment-sound safety play rather than a finished star.
