Another prospect I am torn between offense or defense, Tylor Hunter Tylor Hunter 6'3" | 185 lbs | ATH Plainfield | 2026 State NJ adds himself to the endless litany of athletes to come out of Plainfield. Alternating between safety and corner, Hunter does an awesome job of bumping and disrupting timing of routes. With the unique ability to comfortably play linebacker depth, and even in the box, he has the ability to run with just abut everyone. More of a body-check type of tackler, he will prefer to light a ball carrier up when a option to execute a fundamental tackle is available; that said, he has shown outstanding gator tackling technique. Last word for defense is that Hunter times his blitzes well and screams down hill to fill the alley. On offense we see that Hunter uses his hands to catch the ball, while high pointing it at its apex. This, clearly, makes him prone to win 5050 jump ball, winning those as he fights for positioning like he is jostling for a rebound. This does not, however, make him exempt from underneath routes. We see on film that he is apt at running pivot/returns and can change direction well. Lastly, Hunter adjusts to the ball when it is thrown in all directions, even if he initially turns the wrong way. Hunter’s college prospects will depend on his combine performance.
