By winning the Heisman, Hunter was emotional when he talked about his father.
“I mean something to my father. He is not there and could not do it, but I know you watch on television. Dad, I love you. For everything you have made the man … Now look at your eldest son. I did it for you, guy,” he said.
“Whenever you couldn’t see me, or the times you saw my games. Not to see two games in high school to see me on television every weekend and come to see me. It means so much for me. I know you want to be here, and you can’t, but believe me, I have you. I bring you the trophy. I love you.”
