Joseph Hunter, Jr. Joseph Hunter, Jr. 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB/WR Riverbend | 2029 State VA has excellent size and athleticism for the position, and he consistently impresses in a couple of important areas.

He’s not the fastest player in the world, but he makes up for it with physicality and great processing skills. A defensive back doesn’t have to run a 4.4s 40-yard dash if they’re constantly putting themselves in the right spot every play.

Hunter Jr. is a good run defender as well, showing time and time again that he’s not afraid to throw his body around to stop ball-carriers. He’s a very intriguing safety prospect in the 2029 class, and he’s someone who college coaches need to keep an eye on over the next few seasons.

Joseph Hunter is a young prospect with a ton of upside. Hunter is a defensive back who is very physical in the run defense. Being at 6’1″ 185 I would love for him to use his size as an advantage because he has the skill set to be a true lockdown defensive back. Joseph does have a couple things he needs to work on such as him being able to turn his hips more fluidly, his back peddle is a little to high and he looks stiff and uncomfortable. Besides the minor issues Hunter has great awareness, great pursuit ability, makes a lot of plays around the ball and is an excellent tackler. Joseph has the ability to contribute all over the field at a very high level and you would love to see that from any of your players. Within time this young man will have everything put together and become more of a problem for offensive players.

Hunter played a lot on a District Champion squad last season, got to see him up close a few weeks ago at our showcase, he is legit trust me. Ranked 44th overall Hunter is a multi sport star and a student of the game. He has a ridiculous 4.13 GPA and will play on both sides of the football next fall for Riverbend.
