    • The top 2017 NFL Draft prospects on both teams playing in this year’s Cure Bowl reside in the secondary. For Central Florida, Drico Johnson and Shaquill Griffin are the playmakers. For Arkansas State, it’s first-team All-Sun Belt safety Money Hunter.

    Although not as well known as his father (former Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter) or brother (Notre Dame wide receiver Torii Hunter, Jr.), Money Hunter has been making an impact for the Red Wolves since he started five games as a true freshman. Like the rest of his family, Hunter excels in open space. He’s recorded six interceptions in his career and returned a Sun Belt Conference record four for a touchdown.

    This season, Hunter raised his level of play. He’s no longer just a center fielder waiting for the quarterback to make a mistake. He’s now a ball hawk against both the pass and the run. He finished the regular season third on the team with 73 tackles and recovered two fumbles. If he gets his hands on a McKenzie Milton pass, the Golden Knights offense better be ready to tackle.
