He started out as a wide receiver in his freshman year, playing in seven games and catching three receptions for 37 yards, and also assisted with a tackle.

He started 13 games at strong safety as a senior, recording 48 tackles, 25 assists and making four interceptions for 94 yards, returning two for touchdowns.

Hunt is most famous for being the player erroneously referred to by LSU radio announcer Jim Hawthorne as catching the Bluegrass Miracle Hail Mary game winning touchdown pass in LSU's 2002 victory over Kentucky, a pass actually caught by Devery Henderson.

Hunt was signed by the Dolphins as a free agent, but played with the Berlin Thunder of the NFL Europe League in the spring.
