Justin Hunter, WR, Ocean Lakes High (Virginia Beach), 6-4, 185

His 4.5-second speed and leaping ability (second in high jump at last year's Group AAA state outdoor track and field meet) have drawn offers from at least half the ACC, including U.Va. and Tech, plus Georgia, LSU and others.

Rivals lists an OSU offer, FWIW...

He really shows the ability to go up and get the ball at its highest point, and at 6'4'' and with his leaping ability there aren't going to be many guys that can go up and get it with him...

Not real sure on the speed being listed at 4.5...He seems to have guys run stride for stride with him at times, but his ability to go up and get the ball is what sets him apart...

Hunter states that he has not been offered by OSU but is interested in visiting. Also mentions that he high jumped 6'10" as a sophomore.

From the Florida site...his coach talks about how Justin trys to block field goals...his coach compares him to Larry Fitzgerald in the air and says he has great lateral movement...article says he has offers from Boston College, Clemson, North Carolina, NC State, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech.

I think the Florida writer was just going off the Rivals database, which we know is inaccurate...

Tigers still on top
LSU still is in the driver's seat for receiver Justin Hunter (Virginia Beach/Ocean Lakes), the Under Armour All-American confirmed earlier this week. The 6-4, 172-pounder is being recruited by D.J. McCarthy, one of the top recruiters in the Southeastern Conference and it would not be surprising to see him commit on his next unofficial visit to Baton Rouge should the Tigers' momentum continue here.

LSU Football Recruiting 2010 - ESPN

One of the nation's best, receiver Justin Hunter picks LSU Tigers

ESPNU 150 Watch List wideout Justin Hunter has pledged to head coach Les Miles for the Tigers' recruiting Class of 2010. LSU now has nine commitments.

The 6-foot-4, 175-pound prospect also considered such powers as Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, Virginia Tech and North Carolina. Among many other offers were North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Boston College, Clemson and Kentucky.

ESPN's Tom Luginbill said of the news, "A big play receiver is a priority for LSU in this class and they certainly got one in Justin Hunter, especially on the deep ball where he can use his frame, size and athleticism to make the tough spectacular grabs downfield."

As we have mentioned, he is reminiscent of A.J. Green from the 2008 class as a playmaker. We are not sure he is quite as fast as Green, but his measurables and penchant for making huge plays downfield in contested match-ups is as good as anyone in this class."

Hunter posted 34 receptions for 536 yards (15.8 average) and 10 touchdowns during his junior campaign. He added three scores on the ground and also returned three punts for touchdowns.
