Hunter Haines brings special-teams grit and upside to SDSU’s secondary
Haines is an **active** San Diego State safety who logged **four games in 2024 at Washington State** while preserving his redshirt, with his debut coming on special teams and a tackle on kickoff coverage. He profiles as a fast, physical defensive back with strong burst and pursuit traits in EA SPORTS College Football 26, and his high-school résumé suggests playmaking upside, including eight interceptions and three kickoff-return TDs in his senior season. The appeal is his blend of versatility, toughness, and chip-on-the-shoulder competitiveness—good fit for a team that values depth, special teams, and developmental upside.
