Guys, one of the biggest targets for the 2017 class in the state of Virginia and has been for some time is Indian River (Va.) four-star safety Devon Hunter. He's ranked No. 35 in the Rivals100. Hunter is also now up to 34 offers after most recently, offers from Ole Miss and Notre Dame.
First off, keep in mind that Hunter is one of the first 2017 targets that coach Justin Fuente went to see in person. Fuente was also there to see Hunter's teammates, VT commit Tavante Beckett and Alabama commit Jaquan Yulee, but Fuente was on hand at Indian River's state semi-final game against Highland Springs on Dec. 5.
Hunter said he still likes the Hokies a lot, but was very close to Bryan Stinespring, who's leaving. Hunter said he still likes assistant coach Torrian Gray and defensive coordinator Bud Foster a lot and is glad they're staying but said it's "weird" seeing the coaches who are leaving, leave. He said that he spoke to Fuente only briefly after the game. Fuente shook his hand, told him to keep his head up and keep working.
By far, THE school that sounds like it's on top is Clemson. Hunter still hasn't visited, but loves defensive coordinator Brent Venables. Hunter tole me "They're a bunch of ballers. People don’t look at them as I do. They’re going to a lot of games with confidence and competitive against whoever they play." He hasn't talked much to coach Dabo Swinney, but loves how he coaches and loves everything he's seen. That's the only visit he has planned right now, for their Jan. 30 junior day.
The only other school that Hunter even mentioned was Florida. I do think VT is towards the top after talking to him, but it's obvious he likes Clemson and that's a tough one to overcome. Gray and Zohn Burden really need to work this one hard. Stinespring did for the past about three years, so there's been groundwork, but Fuente himself will probably have to keep this one going. This is a very important one for the Hokies to stay on in the class.
