According to Rivals, Hunter is expected to commit on Friday. Ahead of that, Hunter has cancelled a previously scheduled official visit to Auburn.

If Auburn is indeed out of the picture, that likely leaves North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Virginia Tech as competitors for his commitment. Hunter took an official visit to Florida last week, and it looks like he still has an official visit planned for Alabama before National Signing Day.

Hunter is a four-star recruit per the 247Sports Composite, where he is also ranked as the No. 3 safety in the nation.
