Defensive back D.J. Hunter (Middletown, Ohio), a Buckeye State Top 20 prospect, remains committed to Tennessee despite the impending departure of Coach Phillip Fulmer. The Wisconsin Badgers wanted Hunter to visit this weekend, and a coach from West Virginia is set to stop by Middletown High School today.
Other schools in contact with Hunter over the past two weeks include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Purdue, Louisville and Georgia Tech. Hunter plans to visit Tennessee sometime after a new coach is hired. He has not ruled out other visits, but nothing is schedule at this point and his current desire is to stay with his commitment to Tennessee.
