[autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] has made a difference since arriving at Auburn for his freshman season in 2021. Making an instant impact in a backfield shared with [autotag]Tank Bigsby[/autotag] was a challenge, but Hunter answered by carrying for 593 yards and three touchdowns off of 89 carries.
The 2022 season was an even better year for the Philadelphia, Mississippi native as Hunter rushed for 675 yards and seven touchdowns off of 104 carries.
An article from Mike Farrell Sports written by Matt Perkins listed Hunter as the top bet for an SEC player to have a breakout season.
“The departure of Tank Bigsby, coupled with the offensive system brought in by [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag], make Hunter a big-time breakout candidate in 2023. Retaining [autotag]Cadillac Williams[/autotag] on the coaching staff will also be a blessing for Hunter, who has a really good chance to lead the SEC in rushing.”
Hunter will be taking on a bigger role for the Tigers in 2023 as he is expected to be the lead running back and take the most carries. Sophomore [autotag]Damari Alston[/autotag], South Florida transfer [autotag]Brian Battie[/autotag], and incoming freshman [autotag]Jeremiah Cobb[/autotag] will also have roles in the rebuilt offense that will feature an improved offensive line unit up front.
