Week Zero Stats: 8 tackles (3 solo), 2.5 TFL (8 yards), 1.5 sacks (6 yards)
Hunter delivered a lockdown effort for a Robert Morris defense that did not concede a touchdown in Saturday’s season-opening win at Wagner. With the Seahawks’ lone score coming by way of a pick-6 in the second quarter, Hunter and the Colonials coasted to the 28-7 win in a game that also served as their first NEC contest of the 2026 campaign. Hunter, a redshirt senior linebacker from Miami, racked up a career-high eight tackles, including three solo stops, to go along with a league-leading 2.5 tackles-for-loss and 1.5 sacks. Thanks to the Floridian’s contributions, Robert Morris limited Wagner to just 97 total yards of offense, six first downs and a 1-of-6 mark on third-down conversions. He is the first Colonial to earn NEC Defensive Player of the Week recognition since Oct. 28, 2024, when Jamar Shegog took home the honor.
