Revisiting Travis Hunter’s high school exploits: ‘He’s the best skill kid I’ve ever been around’

New York Times  

Daniel Shoch stepped up in the pocket and rolled out to his right. “That’s the thing people don’t understand,” said Lenny Gregory, Hunter’s head coach at Collins Hill and now the head coach at Gordon Central High. “I’ve been coaching for 20 years or so and he’s easily the most dynamic player that I’ve ever come across in high school football,” said Philip Jones, the head coach at Brookwood High School. Greenville Christian coach Jon Reed McLendon said it felt “surreal” when his players found out they’d be playing against Hunter, whose highlights they’d already devoured on YouTube. “But because it’s so special, just as a guy that loves football, you almost would’ve liked to in-person been able to see more of it.” Alpharetta High School coach Jason Kervin joked he’d be happy to send McLendon some of Hunter’s highlights after Collins Hill beat his team in 2020 and 2021 by a combined score of 72-22.
