Kingsbury RB Gabriel Hunter commits to Ole Miss
The Commercial Appeal says today.
Kingsbury High (my alma mater) running back Gabriel Hunter said today that he's given a verbal commitment to play his college football at Ole Miss. Hunter, The Commercial Appeal's reigning Best of the Preps Offensive Player of the Year, rushed for a Shelby-Metro record 2,679 yards and 29 touchdowns as a junior. A three-star recruit according to Rivals.com and ranked the fifth best recruit in Tennessee, Hunter chose the Rebels over Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Memphis, Tennessee, Texas Tech and Vanderbilt. I felt like that was the school that was recruiting me the hardest," Hunter said. "At first I was thinking Alabama. I was going to roll with Alabama, but I felt like Ole Miss recruited me the hardest."
CONGRATULATIONS!
Just one question though, why didn't the home town team recruit him the hardest?
Us locals would have loved to seen a hometown kid out on the field. Go Tigers!
