Auburn football: B/R calls Jarquez Hunter a top true freshman

Jake ‘Jboy’ Crain had Fly War Eagle expecting a breakout season from Auburn football true freshman running back Jarquez Hunter.

That said, the rest of the world is quickly learning just how potent the first-year rusher’s play can be as the change of pace back to Tank Bigsby’s physical rushing.

Hunter has wheels and typically uses them to get to the outside and outrun defenders down the sideline. On his historic 94-yard run against Alabama State Week 2 (an AU rushing record) he was able to dart down the middle of the field because the offensive line created a hole you could fit an 18-wheeler through.
