Dion Hunter is Austin Peay’s glue-guy linebacker with production, range, and edge
In the 2024 season, Dion Hunter was Austin Peay’s leading tackler with 97 stops, 6.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and 8.1 tackles per game, earning Second Team All-UAC honors. He’s the kind of linebacker coaches love: durable, assignment-sound, and consistently around the football, with at least six tackles in every game and a knack for setting the tone physically. At 6-foot-1 and 236 pounds, he brings a sturdy, downhill presence and enough playmaking juice to be more than just a stack-and-flow guy. If your team wants a steady, high-motor LB who raises the floor of the defense, Hunter fits the bill.
