I want to be an example for others that anything is possible.
“I remember just talking to colleges the spring of his ninth-grade year and telling coaches that this kid’s going to be the No. 1 player in the country,” recounted Gregory, who’s now the coach at Gordon Central High in Calhoun, Georgia. “They’d look at him and laugh at me, ‘What are you talking about? This scrawny kid? He’s not big enough.’ I was like, ‘Just watch. Just watch.’”
Hunter’s likely final game in Boulder, a rout of Oklahoma State, was a three-touchdown, one-interception performance.
