Hunt is first Ragin’ Cajun invited to play in postseason all-star game since Tracy Walker
LAFAYETTE – Redshirt senior offensive lineman Robert Hunt has been invited to participate in the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl, the Senior Bowl Committee announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Hunt is the first Ragin' Cajun to be invited to the annual postseason all-star game since Tracy Walker earned an invitation following his stellar senior season in 2017. Walker made the most of his trip to the Senior Bowl and is currently having a standout season with the Detroit Lions.
A native of Burkeville, Texas, the right tackle has begun to make a name for himself, having been recognized by Pro Football Focus as a Midseason Second Team All-America candidate. He, along with the rest of the offensive line, were also one of 24 selections to the Joe Moore Award Midseason Honor Roll, which recognizes the top offensive line in the nation.
Hunt has played a huge role in the production of Louisiana's offense in the 2019 season. Through eight games this year, the Ragin' Cajuns rank third in the nation in rushing yards per game (288.0) and 13th in the nation in total offense (491.1).
With the help of Hunt's stellar blocking, Louisiana's running back trio of Raymond Calais, Elijah Mitchell and Trey Ragas have been virtually unstoppable, rushing for 1,850 of the team's 2,304 total yards and accounting for 23 of the team's 29 rushing scores.
Louisiana returns to action on Thursday, Nov. 7, when it treks to Conway, S.C., for a midweek clash with Coastal Carolina. Kickoff from Brooks Stadium is slated for 6:30 p.m. (CST) and will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU.
Single-game tickets for Louisiana's remaining 2019 home games are on sale now from the Louisiana Athletics Ticket Office at the Cajundome. More information can be obtained by calling (337) 265-2170, or by visiting the office in-person. For information on parking passes, contact RCAF by phone at (337) 851-2903.
