Get to know former Auburn Tiger running back Jarquez Hunter.
Senior Bowl Profile: Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter (5’10 209) is a former 3 star recruit (40th RB in 2021) heading into the Senior Bowl as one of the most decorated and dynamic running backs in Auburn history, but seemingly lacking large scale fanfare. A first-team All-SEC selection in 2024, Hunter finished his career ranked fourth all-time among Auburn rushers with 3,371 yards and 25 rushing touchdowns. His senior season was his best yet, rushing for a career-high 1,201 yards. Hunter also ranks sixth in school history in all-purpose yards with 4,453, showcasing his versatility and explosiveness.
Hunter thrives at processing info and finding openings, even against loaded defensive fronts. He combines his “second gear” speed with outstanding lateral agility, and his pad level and contact balance make him nearly impossible for the first defender to bring down.
Jarquez Hunter will look to solidify himself as one of the most complete running back prospects in the draft. The Senior Bowl provides the perfect stage for Hunter to showcase his elite skill set against top-tier competition.
