Early life

Hunt played football at Ruston High School in Ruston, Louisiana.

In high school, Hunt played various positions. He started at wingback and did just as an outstanding job on the defensive side of the ball. He lettered as a sophomore and won various city and state honors in his schools classification, 5A.

College career

He signed with LSU and played with the Tigers for four years (2000–03). He started out as a wide receiver in his freshman year, playing in seven games and catching three receptions for 37 yards, and also assisted with a tackle.
