Nation's No. 4 safety Devon Hunter likely to visit these three schools ahead of commitment

Hunter is one of the Top 50 recruits in the nation.

One of the top uncommitted recruits in the country is looking to take some very important official visits ahead of National Signing Day in February.

Four-star recruit Devon Hunter (6-foot-1, 205 pounds, Chesapeaka, Va.) is the No. 4 safety in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite, and he has already taken officials visits to Virginia Tech and North Carolina. According to Rivals.com, Hunter hopes to take three more official visits in the next month, and all three would be to SEC powerhouses.

Via Rivals:

"I am going to Florida on the 13th of January," said Hunter. "I am going to Auburn and Alabama too in January, I am just not sure which of the two weekends I will use."

247 currently has Virginia Tech as the favorite, but these three potential visits are definitely interesting. Hunter is rated as a Top 50 overall recruit, so defensive powerhouses like Auburn, Florida, and Alabama could go after Hunter hard if they feel that he fits into their defensive scheme.

Hunter also has offers from schools like Michigan, Tennessee, and Clemson, but none of those programs seem to be in the running as of now.
