LOGANVILLE, GA — Standing at an imposing 6’5” and 244 pounds, Olafemi Hunter is hard to miss on the field—and even harder to stop. The Grayson High School standout from the Class of 2027 is quickly making a name for himself across the Southeast as a hybrid threat at tight end and wide receiver.
Wearing jersey number 86, Hunter brings a rare blend of size, athleticism, and versatility that’s drawing attention from college programs at every level. With early offers already on the table from Georgia State, Georgia Southern, Miami (OH), Sacramento State, and Western Kentucky, Hunter’s recruiting stock is clearly on the rise.
When asked about his dream school, Hunter keeps things humble and focused:
“Any college that gives me a chance,” he said.
Offseason Grind
This past summer, Hunter was busy putting in work at several elite camps, sharpening his skills and testing himself against top-tier talent. He competed at the Mercer Mega Camp, participated in a private workout at Vanderbilt, and showcased his abilities at the prestigious Clemson Camp. Coaches took notice—not just of his physical tools, but of his work ethic and coachability.
A Multi-Sport Athlete
Though football is his primary sport, Hunter’s athleticism isn’t confined to the gridiron. He’s a regular on the basketball court as well.
“I play basketball all the time,” he says, crediting hoops for helping with his agility, footwork, and hand-eye coordination—traits that make him a mismatch nightmare for defenders in one-on-one situations.
Looking Ahead
As Hunter enters his junior year at Grayson, he’s expected to play a larger role in the Rams’ offensive attack. Whether he’s lined up as a traditional tight end or split out wide, he presents a unique challenge for defenses trying to match up with his size and speed.
With two more years of high school football ahead and a strong work ethic driving his development, Olafemi Hunter is a name that recruiting fans—and defensive coordinators—will be hearing a lot more about.
