Javonte Hunter '26 Recruiting Profile

My goal as a student-athlete is to compete at the collegiate level while continuing to grow both on and off the mat. I came into wrestling later than most, but that challenge has fueled my drive. In a short time, I have made excellent strides, earning a placement at regionals and proving to myself that hard work and dedication can close any gap.

What makes me a strong candidate for your team is my commitment to constant improvement and my willingness to put the team first. I am highly coachable, focused under pressure, and motivated to outwork my competition. Wrestling has taught me that success comes from consistency, discipline, and resilience—qualities I bring into both athletics and academics.

I take my role as a student just as seriously as I do as an athlete. I understand the balance it takes to manage schoolwork alongside training, and I am determined to excel in both areas.

What sets me apart from other recruits is my mindset. Starting later in the sport has given me an edge—I don’t take opportunities for granted, and I know how to push through challenges. Wrestling is more than a sport to me; it’s a lifestyle that has shaped who I am, and I am ready to bring that same passion, drive, and determination to the next level.
