David Hunter gives Western Carolina a veteran QB who can stretch defenses
In the 2026 season, David Hunter is part of a Western Carolina offense that ranks among the FCS passing leaders, and that context matters because the Catamounts are throwing it efficiently while staying aggressive through the air[2][7][15]. His best calling card is fit: at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, he brings quarterback size and a pro-style frame, while Western Carolina’s offense has leaned into passing volume and production[5][2][15]. If you’re hunting for a QB who can operate in a pass-friendly system and elevate tempo, Hunter is worth a close look; the main question is how he translates that system-driven value into week-to-week consistency[2][7].
