- Born Oct. 11, 1905
Hunt played for Texas A&M from 1925 to 1927. While in college, Hunt was a running back, punter, place kicker and defensive player. Playing in 27 games during his career, he scored 30 touchdowns, 5 field goals and 29 extra points. Coach John Heisman, who was the head coach at Rice University during Hunt\'s years at Texas A&M and saw Hunt play, asserted that Hunt was "the greatest all-around player I ever saw."\n', '
After college, Hunt served as head football coach at Marshall (Texas) Junior College (1928–1929). He also played professional baseball, spending most of his time in the minor leagues, but also playing 16 games in the major leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1931–32. Hunt was assistant coach at Texas A&M University (1930–1932) and at Louisiana State University (1933–1936). He became the head football coach at Georgia in 1938 and completed his only season there with a 5–4–1 record.\n', '
At Georgia, Hunt was a surprise replacement for the popular head coach Harry Mehre. Although Hunt\'s 5–4–1 record as a head coach was respectable, his most important contribution to Georgia Bulldogs football was a coaching assistant that he brought with him, Wally Butts. Butts became Georgia\'s head coach in 1939 and continued in that position until 1960.\n', '
