QB Hunter Commits to JMU's Winning Culture

Quarterback DJ Hunter announced his commitment to James Madison University, confirming his choice after an official visit. Hunter, a highly-rated recruit from Buford High School, had a strong sense of JMU being the right fit even before his visit, which served as the final confirmation.

He selected the Dukes from a list of offers that included Liberty, Old Dominion, and Marshall. The recruitment process, spearheaded by quarterbacks coach Ryan Pflugrad, played a crucial role in Hunter's decision. Pflugrad's consistent communication and engagement during Hunter's spring practice visits helped foster a strong connection.

Hunter was particularly drawn to JMU's established winning culture and the strong sense of camaraderie among the team members, describing them as "one big family." The positive interactions with coaches throughout his recruitment and the welcoming campus environment further reinforced his choice.

He also expressed confidence in the program's direction under head coach Billy Napier and his coaching staff, recognizing their past successes and commitment to doing things the right way. Hunter feels JMU truly believes in his potential.
