Akeem Hunt was Purdue’s versatile, high-usage spark plug in 2014
In the 2014 season, Akeem Hunt led Purdue in rushing with 464 yards on 123 carries and added 340 receiving yards on 38 catches, showing the kind of dual-threat versatility that makes a back more than a box-score runner.[7] Across his Purdue career, he finished with 2,035 rushing yards and 841 receiving yards, which points to a reliable all-purpose skill set rather than a one-dimensional power profile.[1] At 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, he projects as a quick, adaptable back who can help in space and as a receiver out of the backfield, making him a fit for teams that value versatility over pure size.[8][3]
