Veteran Tackling Machine Anchors Marshall’s Defense
D.J. Hunter enters his final Marshall season as a proven, high-volume linebacker with 232 career tackles, 119 solo stops, 8.5 sacks and 4 forced fumbles, making him the kind of tone-setting defender coaches trust in all situations.[6][3] He is more than a stat line: Marshall lists him as the Herd’s current tackles leader, and his durability, downhill physicality and ability to create negative plays suggest a steady, experienced fit for a defense that needs reliability and intensity.[6][3]
