A key piece to Auburn’s offense made his fall debut on Tuesday.
According to a report by Nathan King of Auburn Undercover, junior running back [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] worked out with the team Tuesday during the fifth day of fall camp. According to King, he took reps with the first-team offense.
Hunter has been absent from team activities since May due to a University investigation. Because of this, head coach [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] has not been able to discuss the matters of the investigation publicly.
For the time being, Hunter is set to be a part of a solid unit of running backs. Hunter was used as the secondary back behind Tank Bigsby for the last two seasons, and he would rush for 1,261 yards and 10 touchdowns. Hunter, along with [autotag]Brian Battie[/autotag] and [autotag]Damari Alston[/autotag], will lead the running backs unit this season.
