Joey Hunter brings veteran DB experience and special-teams value to Memphis
Joey Hunter is a 6-foot defensive back with multiple college stops, and that experience shows up in his résumé: he has played in 18 games over two seasons at Akron, including six starts, before joining Memphis. In 2024 at Akron, he logged 10 tackles and two pass breakups, suggesting a steady, assignment-ready corner who can compete in coverage and contribute quickly. Memphis also listed him as a defensive back after adding him to its 2025 roster, and EA Sports rated him a 74 in College Football 26, a solid indicator of competent all-around ability rather than flash.
