<strong>College Interest</strong>
Hunt currently holds two D-2 offers from Minnesota-Crookston and Minnesota-Moorhead. As far as interest, Minnesota-Moorhead, St. Cloud State, St. Thomas and Crookston all are pursuing Andrew as far as his interest.
<strong>Improvements Made By Hunt</strong>
The biggest things the Mustangs coaching staff had Hunt work on was a move called the "get off and chop". To get better, Andrew went to Line Of Scrimmage sessions on how to perfect the art of defensive lineman moves and went for two hours 4 times a week to get better. He also took in another sport, wrestling to learn how to clear hands more efficiently. The speed rush to chop move was very effective and got Hunt 8 sacks in six games this season, which is a phenomenal improvement.
<strong>Andrew's Mentor</strong>
Without hardly thinking about it, Hunt credited <strong>Vince Calistro</strong> his defensive line coach, as his biggest mentor. "He doesn't just help in football but life too and he cares about his boys in the trenches. Calistro currently is on the Mustangs staff and was before an assistant coach at Irondale. He is also a special education teacher in the Mounds View School District
