former blue-chip Hokie DB whose story is more about ceiling than box-score splash
Devon Hunter arrived at Virginia Tech as a high-end defensive back prospect, ranked as a consensus four-star and one of Virginia’s top recruits in the 2017 class; in college, his profile has been shaped as much by availability and adversity as by production, with 33 career tackles, 1 sack, and no interceptions across his Hokies tenure. The appeal is the traits: physicality, safety-size at about 6-0/220, and the kind of run-support temperament teams covet in the back end. The caution flag is clear too—injury history and off-field disruption have limited his consistency, so he’s more of a reclamation/fit bet than a clean plug-and-play answer.
