Summary
Jarquez Hunter is a stout, compact feature back with a specialty in contact balance. He routinely shrugs off tacklers and maintains his momentum through contact. He’s more of a patient runner who lets his blocks develop before hitting the gas, but when he does, he shows above-average burst through the second level. His open-field speed is good, occasionally great, especially for a back with a thick frame and shorter legs.
He runs with sharp, diagonal-based cuts that retain speed but isn't a lateral jump-cut type. His vision between the tackles is a plus -- he sees lanes forming in real-time and is comfortable finding cutback opportunities when necessary. He’s not one to frequently bounce runs outside, preferring to stay north-south and take what’s available rather than forcing an ill-advised outside run. He has a functional stiff arm and doesn’t shy away from contact with third-level defenders.
He has limited receiving experience but shows reliable hands on tape. He has the movement skills to be effective in the screen game. Overall, Hunter is an underrated running back prospect with a well-rounded skill set built for early-down efficiency.
