Quintin Hunter ‘s first season as Orange Fighting Hornets starting quarterback has impressed some college coaches enough to recruit the athletic prospect to play quarterback. A second-team all-region selection as a signal caller, Hunter’s outstanding junior year included a 514-yard performance (361 yards passing, 153 yards rushing) in a loss to Monticello.

“Stanford is recruiting me as a quarterback,” said Hunter, who totaled over 3,000 yards of offense including 2,100 yards passing and 920 yards rushing. He totaled 30 touchdowns. “I know Maryland is, too. [Virginia] Tech is also. All three are recruiting me to play quarterback.”

Maryland, Stanford and Virginia Tech have officially offered the 6-2, 185-pound standout. The University of Virginia and West Virginia University have extended official offers as well, with the Cavaliers recruiting Hunter as a wide receiver. When it comes down to it, position does not seem to be a big factor for the versatile, multitalented athlete.

“I just want to play,” said Hunter, who, in addition to the four offers, is drawing serious interest from Boston College, Connecticut, Tennessee and West Virginia, among others. “If a school lets me play quarterback, then that is fine. But I know I can contribute at other positions. I know I can play wide receiver or defensive back. I just want to be able to make an impact somewhere.”
