RECRUITING: Silverado’s Hunt headed to UNLV
Liberty’s Ethan Dedeaux (25) jumps to break up a pass to intended for Silverado’s Austin Hunt (10) on Saturday.
Silverado tight end Austin Hunt made an oral commitment to UNLV.
Hunt's commitment is nonbinding, and the first day he can sign a letter of intent is Feb. 5. UNLV's coaches cannot comment until that time.
As a senior, the 6-foot-6-inch, 225-pound Hunt hauled in a team-high 22 receptions for 366 yards and four touchdowns and was named first-team All-Northeast League. Hunt was also drawing interest from Northern Arizona and Weber State, but the Rebels were the only program to offer a scholarship.
Hunt is the fourth local player to commit to UNLV, joining Desert Pines wide receiver Tim Hough, Palo Verde defensive lineman Michael Hughes Jr., and Green Valley place-kicker Conor Perkins.
