UT Martin LB Chris Hunter Jr. brings ball-hawking playmaking and all-around disruption
Chris Hunter Jr. was one of UT Martin’s most productive defenders in 2024, earning All-American honors after starting 10 games, posting 79 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss and a conference-leading five interceptions. His value goes beyond the box score: he has range, instincts and quarterback awareness that show up in coverage, plus enough downhill physicality to affect the run game and pressure the backfield. For a team looking for a smart, high-motor linebacker who can create turnovers and stay on the field, he looks like a strong fit.
